Members of the Convention of States Hawaii team met on January 17 amidst a busy and crowded rotunda at the Hawaii Capitol for Opening Day of the 2018 legisative session.
That day marked the first of five "Surge Wednesday" visits in which four seperate COS Hawaii teams will distribute educational materials to all of Hawaii's state senators and state representatives.
