Interdepartmental Council (IDC)
Consisting of state agency directors from the departments of education, human services, health, labor and industrial relations, business, economic development and tourism, and the governor’s special assistant for children and youth. As amended in 2000, the Council also includes one representative each from the business and philanthropic communities. The Interdepartmental Council has been instrumental in strengthening our effort to ensure the safety, health and school readiness of Hawaii’s youngest children. In 2001, the IDC strongly supported school readiness by designating a School Readiness Task Force co-chaired by Dee Jay Mailer, CEO of Kamehameha Schools and Pat Hamamoto, DOE Superintendent of Schools.
