Gov. David Ige has made six appointments to the University of Hawaii Board of Regents, including a former community college provost, accountant and attorney, and hospital executive.

The appointments, which are subject to confirmation by the state Senate, make up one-third of the board and replace three interim regents appointed by Ige’s predecessor, Gov. Neil Abercrombie.

Ige has named Michael McEnerney, a certified public accountant and attorney, to one of the board’s seven Honolulu seats. McEnerney will replace longtime regent Chuck Gee, whose term expires at the end of June.

McEnerney, whose term is for five years beginning July 1, is president of Honolulu-based McEnerney Shimabukuro Okazaki & Fujita CPAs. He earned his law degree from Northwestern University and an MBA from UH-Manoa.

Ige also appointed Ernest Wilson to one of the board’s two Maui County seats, effective July 1.

Wilson has a military and hospitality industry background, reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Army and working in management positions for Holiday Inns Inc., Embassy Suites, Sheraton Hotels and Outrigger Hotels and Resorts.

He previously served as dean of the hospitality programs at Paul Smith’s College in New York.

Wilson will replace interim Maui regent Helen Nielsen, who Abercrombie tapped to serve out former regent Sae­dene Ota’s term, set to expire June 30.

Abercrombie in October made four interim appointments to fill vacancies triggered by the state’s new financial disclosure law.

Former regents John Dean (Honolulu), Carl Carlson (West Hawaii island), Tom Shigemoto (Kauai) and Ota (Maui) resigned last summer, citing privacy concerns over a state law that added members of the Board of Regents to the list of public officials whose financial interests are disclosed to the public.

Because Abercrombie’s four interim appointments on the board were never confirmed by the Senate, Ige has submitted his own nominations for two of the seats, using a previous list of names from a screening committee prescribed by state law. Ige has named:

» David Iha, a retired secretary to the Board of Regents, to fill the Kauai seat through mid-2017. Iha previously served as provost of Kauai Community College for 16 years and director of the college’s administrative services for more than a decade. He would replace Abercrombie’s interim appointment of Dr. Dileep Bal.

» Wayne Higaki, chief development officer for North Hawaii Community Hospital, to fill the West Hawaii island seat through mid-2016. He would replace Abercrombie’s interim appointment of Peter Hoffman.

» Simeon Acoba, a retired Hawaii Supreme Court associate justice, has been reappointed through mid-2017 to the Honolulu seat he currently fills.

» Nielsen, a co-founder of the Maui Coastal Lands Trust, has been re-nominated to continue in the Maui seat only through June 30.
