Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) has arrived on Kauaʻi, the latest island to launch the nationally recognized arrest diversion program. We have seen first-hand the benefit of the LEAD program in Honolulu and I am hopeful for its success in Kauaʻi. The Kauaʻi-based nonprofit Women In Need WIN will operate the pilot project alongside key partners, including the Kaua'i Police Department, the Kauaʻi county Prosecutors, and Mental Health Kokua. All partners have expressed a willingness to make the program a success and a dedication to serving Kauaʻi’s most vulnerable populations. More about this program: ow.ly/fTZQ50xzXQC

Western Governors launched their 2019 Winter Meeting in Las Vegas today by tackling the challenge of reinvigorating rural communities, discussing the evolution of the state-federal relationship, and highlighting energy innovations. The Governors also heard from Land O'Lakes CEO Beth Ford about how that national cooperative is central to the vibrancy of the communities in which they are doing business and thought leader Dean Kamen about how to best educate the workforce of the future.
The 2019 Winter Meeting will continue on Saturday, with the Governors discussing topics that include the use of blockchain for cybersecurity government efficiency and the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous women epidemic. The meeting will conclude on Saturday with the release of the Governors’ latest policy resolutions.
