Gov. David Ige has appointed Kenneth Uemura, former vice president and chief financial officer of Hawaii Pacific University, to the Board of Education.

In a news release Tuesday, Ige said he also has reappointed Brian J. De Lima, whose current term representing the Hawaii County seat on the board will end June 30. De Lima will fill the school board’s at-large seat held by Donald Horner, who resigned from the BOE effective June 30. De Lima’s term will begin July 1 and end June 30, 2017.

New board member Patricia Bergin will take De Lima’s Hawaii County seat on the BOE, and new board member Bruce Voss takes the at-large seat currently held by Patricia Halagao, whose term ends June 30, the Governor’s Office said. Both terms start July 1.

Uemura will fill the City and County of Honolulu seat currently held by Amy Asselbaye, whose term expires June 30. Asselbaye served as chief of staff for Gov. Neil Abercrombie.

Uemura was named the 2010 CFO of the Year by Pacific Business News. He has also served as treasurer/executive vice president of finance at RESCO Inc./Prudential Locations; chief financial officer and corporate treasurer and secretary at Pomare (Hilo Hattie); and senior vice president and controller at C. Brewer & Co. He has also worked for Jas. W. Glover Holding Co., Persis Corp. and DeLoitte Haskins & Sells.

Uemura is currently self-employed as a business consultant, providing expertise in corporate turnaround and restructuring, debt restructuring and business plan execution. He is a graduate of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Uemura will serve a three-year term starting July 1 and ending June 30, 2019.

Uemura’s and De Lima’s appointments are subject to state Senate confirmation.
