The vacancies affect a range of DCCA boards and commissions, including the Hawaii Medical Board, Board of Nursing, Board of Veterinary Medicine, Real Estate Commission, Board of Electricians and Plumbers, and Board of Professional Engineers, Architects, Surveyors and Landscape Architects.

Volunteers may serve on one state board, commission or committee at a time and must be nominated by the governor and approved by the state Senate.
