Saipan Mayor David M. Apatang has re-appointed three board members to the Saipan Higher Education Financial Assistance. <\/p>\n
The terms of board members Raymond Muna, Ursula Lifoifoi Aldan, and Francisco Cabrera have expired but their re-appointments mean they are headed back to the scholarship program. <\/p>\n
Muna, Aldan, and Cabrera served a term of two years on the SHEFA board. <\/p>\n
According to Apatang, he chose to re-appoint these members because of their outstanding performances. <\/p>\n
Apatang has already confirmed their re-appointment and is just waiting for the required documents and the confirmation of the Saipan and Northern Islands Legislative Delegation. <\/p>\n
The re-appointments are still subject to confirmation by delegation chair Rep. John Paul Sablan (R-Saipan). The re-appointment will be voted on at the upcoming delegation session. <\/p>\n
According to Apatang, he believes in the work and qualifications of all three board members. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am confident that they are qualified to continue serving on the SHEFA board and that they are assets on the board,\u201d he wrote in his email. <\/p>\n
Currently, Apatang is still awaiting documents like police clearances, drug test results, and resumes from the three. <\/p>\n
They will serve another two years if the re-appointments are confirmed by the delegation. <\/p>\n
Discussions on extending the relocation deadline for poker establishments to Garapan should also be continued in the upcoming delegation session. <\/p>\n
Apatang hopes that a solution is figured out soon, whether it\u2019s extending the relocation period or if it\u2019s finding another source of funding for the SHEFA program. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
