Neighborhood Watch & Patrol
This committee is comprised of a group of neighborhood volunteers that work with our Community Police Officer (CPO) from the Pahoa Police Station to patrol areas for suspicious activity, locate abandoned vehicles in our neighborhood, conduct wellness checks and other related services. The program is an observe-and-report group only and does not provide security services or long-term drive-by services. The group holds no liability for any criminal activity which may occur during a homeowner's absence. This active group meets monthly and is separate from the Nanawale Community Association. We will provide the facilities to meet and plan only.

Environmental Committee
The mission of the Environmental Committee is to provide valuable information and assistance to the members of the Nanawale Community Association. Our goal is to educate property owners, on and off-island, mainly about Albizia and other dangerous trees that threaten our homes and property values. Your assistance helps us in our efforts to eradicate or reduce the proliferation of these invasive species. The mission of the Environmental Committee is to provide valuable information and assistance to the members of the Nanawale Community Association.

Recreational Committee
The Mission of the Recreation Committee is to promote the social life, recreation, community relations and spirit of brotherhood among the members, their families and all residents of the Nanawale Estates community. Our goal is to provide activities, classes and social gatherings for our community members to enjoy. We welcome your input and participation.

Nominating Committee
The nominating committee consists of a chairperson, elected by the Board, and a minimum of two additional volunteer members of the committee. This committee meets not less than 120 days before the Annual Meeting in October. Its purpose is to submit to the Board of Directors the name of at least one member for each of the director positions to be filled at the next Annual Meeting from the collected voting on nominees, subject to membership qualifications for directorship as specified, and not later than 30 days in advance of the annual meeting.

Policy Committee
The purpose of the Policy Committee is to review the bylaws, covenants and policies as may be requested by the Chairperson of the Board, officers, or members of the community. Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, the Policy Committee can recommend policy changes to the membership at the annual meeting or at a special meeting of the membership called for such purpose. Committee members work by developing a thorough knowledge of the policies, review the questions submitted and make recommendations without personal bias.
