HONOLULU – The Regents Candidate Advisory Council (RCAC) will soon begin the recruitment process to fill a vacancy for a County of Hawai‘i seat on the University of Hawai‘i Board of Regents. The vacant seat was previously occupied by an interim regent whose term expired at the end of this year’s legislative session.
 
Upon appointment by Gov. Abercrombie, the appointee for this seat will serve until he/she is confirmed by the Hawai‘i State Senate.
