Linda Jane grew up in Honolulu, immersed in the hospitality industry. After attending college in California and living on the mainland for several years she realized her heart belonged in Hawaii. She moved with her two young sons to the Big Island in 1989 and has been an advocate for cyclists, pedestrians and athletics ever since. Linda Jane was the office manager at B&L Bike and Sports then a full time employee with the IRONMAN Triathlon World Championship before taking her current job at Outrigger Hotels & Resorts, overseeing shareholder relations and activities. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Global Business Management from the University of Phoenix and is an active member of the Rotary Club of Kona as well as PATH. Linda Jane loves to travel, cook, is an avid cyclist, swimmer, and hiker, and loves to watch competitive sports of any kind.

Cindy is a retired school principal and a dedicated local volunteer.  She always loved the people who volunteered in her schools and is now happy to have the time to volunteer herself.  She is involved with Big Island triathlons and the Keauhou Canoe Club,  The American Association of University Women's GEMS (Girls Exploring Math and Science) Program for the fifth grade girls of West Hawaii and the Mitsubishi Electric Championship Golf Tournament at Hualalai -- a fundraiser for Kona Rotary.

As a former Stewardess and Purser with Pan Am through the 60s and 70s, Jane first visited Hawaii and fell in love with the island life. After marrying in Honolulu in 1970 and moving to Kona in 1971, Jane continued to fly (and commute to her mainland base) until 1976. In 1992, Jane assumed the directorship of the Ultraman World Championship Triathlon, a 3 day event that circles the Island of Hawaii, until she retired three years ago. In the many years of doing the course around the island (with car keys!), the need for bike lanes and bike safety, as well as safe running and hiking areas are realized as a prime concern, and the goals of PATH are always at the forefront of her volunteering for PATH sponsored events. Now in her 70s, Jane continues to paddle and race internationally with Keauhou Canoe Cub.

Melissa Braswell has been the owner of Big Island Running Company for 11 years. In that time, she has participated in and sponsored many of the local races and events on the Big Island, including helping organize registration on race morning for both the Run for Hops and PATH Run for many years. She is an active runner and occasional swimmer and enjoys helping people in the community become and stay active.

I am a full time resident of Hawaii Island. Married with children and grandchildren, I have a bachelor’s degree from California State University, Chico in Sustainable Tourism and a minor in Anthropology. Before retiring I owned and operated my own real estate sales office with an emphasis in residential and land sales and leasing. My real estate business required knowledge in all aspects of land division, as well as working with private landowners, nonprofit organizations, local and state governments in subdivision development, and easements procurement. I have been on the board of directors of the Northern California Regional Land Trust, the City of Chico Parking Commission, and City of Chico Airport Commission. I have worked as a subcontractor for The Nature Conservancy identifying and helping acquire land and land easements along the Sacramento River from Red Bluff to Sacramento, California. My interests include scuba diving, snorkeling, canoe paddling, hiking, running, walking,swimming, beekeeping, woodworking and volunteering in local civic events.

An avid cyclist, and former President of Girls on the Run- Chicago, where I volunteered and served on the Board of Directors since 2003, we moved to Hawaii so that we could play outside all 12 months of the year.  Originally from Chicago, I spent 30+ years in big box retail management, and spent most of my free time volunteering and giving back to my community.  Having served on 2 different non-profit Boards in leadership roles, I understand the importance of dedicated Board Service and am passionate about making a difference. 

     I am excited to be a part of PATH Hawaii and help champion the efforts at creating safe places to walk, run & ride on the Big Island plus continue the focus of youth education and safety.
