The National Lieutenant Governors Association has appointed Lieutenant Governor Shan Tsutsui to serve on a national policy committee. The professional association provides research and issue exchange opportunities to the officeholders first in line of succession to governor in all 50 states and the U.S. territories. 

Tsutsui is serving as a member of the International Committee, which provides direction on opportunities for global engagement by the states’ seconds-in-command. 

“This role recognizes Lt. Governor Tsutsui as a point of contact and recognized expert for NLGA and to his peers,” said NLGA Director Julia Hurst in a press release.

“Because Hawaii serves as a gateway between Asia and the Pacific, being appointed to this committee is a natural fit,” said said Tsutsui.
