What's Being Discussed

• Committee activities and timeline: Members will review the Human Resources Committee's recent work and schedule going forward.
• Hiring of a Chief Investment Officer (closed session): The committee will hold a private executive session to discuss candidates for the Chief Investment Officer position at the Employees' Retirement System (ERS). This session is closed to the public to protect candidates' personal and employment records.

Decisions Expected

• The committee may take action on the hiring process for the Chief Investment Officer, though final decisions may occur in the closed executive session.
• No other formal votes are listed on the public agenda.

Who Should Pay Attention

• State employees and retirees who are members of Hawaii's public pension system — the ERS manages their retirement funds, and the Chief Investment Officer plays a key role in overseeing those investments.
• Anyone interested in ERS leadership and governance, including how the retirement fund is managed.
