A screening committee appointed by Probate Court is assisting in the selection of a new Kamehameha Schools trustee.

The new trustee will succeed Nainoa Thompson, whose term as trustee ends June 30.

The trust said Wednesday that the court will name the new trustee from a list of three candidates drawn up by the committee.

The appointee would qualify for a five-year term and could be eligible for an additional five-year term.

The trust said the committee is looking for active leaders within the community with a deep sense of commitment and the ability to ensure Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop's vision and legacy continue to be perpetuated.

Trustees receive an annual compensation of $108,000, with the chairperson receiving $128,250.
