Being a public servant is one of the few jobs where you can impact the broader community every day. Our public employees are our most important asset. They’re on the front lines to help us deliver services to our communities. This year’s outstanding state employees are just some of the many who make life better for all of us and who provide leadership to deliver higher quality services. This dedication is also true of the state Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, which plays a vital role in critical areas such as business licensing, consumer protection and insurance. With the start of the hurricane season, now is the time for everyone to check their insurance policies and be prepared. #HIGov
