IL Program Director, Sam Nagasawa, was joined by a team of IL Professionals from Hawaii at this year’s NCIL Conference in Washington D.C. as they visited with our Hawaii Congressional Delegation. Although painfully missing was a visit to the late Congressman Takai’s office, the team was able to meet with Legislative Aides from the offices of Senator Schatz, Senator Hirono, and Congresswoman Gabbard.
