PRESIDENT: ED EISERMANN: I’ve been married for 24 years to my wife Tina and have 6 children. For the past 12 years I have worked in multi-unit management for convenience stores and restaurants. In these 12 years, I was in charge of budgeting and finance, human resources, training, and total profit and loss of my locations. I previously held positions on the board of directors in Texas where we resided those 12 years. I have moved to Hawaii in December of 2021 and it will be a pleasure working with our community.
VICE PRESIDENT: MARK JONES: Aloha, Association Members. I have been a resident of Hawaii since 1984 and moved to Ainaloa in 2018. While living on Oahu, I served on two homeowner association boards: Hidden Valley Estates, where I headed the building and property maintenance department and guided the massive cleanup following a tropical storm that brought down many trees and damaged buildings, and Makakilo Mala, where I headed the community pool and park security department. My vision for Ainaloa includes far more community activities for us, with greater use of our sports fields, our longhouse, and park areas that are currently undeveloped or underutilized. I can see these as a home for potlucks, arts and crafts festivals, a community farmer’s market, a flea market, concerts and talent show, or local theater. I’d like to see a keiki contest to develop an Ainaloa flag to be made and flown from the flagpole at the longhouse. Stronger communities make stronger neighbors and build a sense of respect and responsibility for the citizens of Ainaloa. Mark your ballot for Mark Jones!
SECRETARY: BECKY JONES: My family and I have owned property in Ainaloa since 2017. I am retired and I actively volunteer as co-coordinator for Ainaloa Neighborhood Watch and co- administrator for the Ainaloa Ohana Watch Facebook page. I serve on the Ainaloa Yard Sale Committee, on the Family Activities Committee, and assist in various other projects. I regularly attend board meetings here and have served as a board officer for HOAs in other states. I’ve worked at the corporate level for private businesses, non-profits, and for the Florida state government. Ainaloa is a wonderful community, yet there is always room for ways to enhance the living experience for all. I ask for the privilege of representing our residents in the best way possible for all and to do so with transparency.
TREASURER: MICHAEL PIPTA: Aloha! My name is Michael Pipta and I am happy to represent Ainaloa Community Association as a Board Member. I currently serve as Treasurer and in that role, my job is to ensure that the budgets and expenditures for the Association – mostly, collection of road fees, completion of the roads, groundskeeper, general operations, and payroll – align with our approved budgets. I have been a resident of Ainaloa since 2015 and chose the neighborhood because of the Association. I work as a realtor with and Coldwell Banker Island Realty and in my spare time, I enjoy swimming, biking, and running and I have completed 3 ironman triathlons.
BOARD MEMBER: MICHAEL DODGE: My family and I live in Ainaloa, where I have served as a Volunteer Firefighter with 10-D for the past 15 years. I’m an active, happily married man, with four outstanding boys. I served on their school Safety Committee and their PTSA as Treasurer, Legislative Liaison, and as the local PTSA President. I also served on their School community Council, mentored Junior Achievement Programs, and now serve on their Charter School Governing Board as Chairman. I was recently appointed as Advisor to the Hawaii Charter School Commission. As a former Scoutmaster of my son’s Boy Scout Troop, I am proud that two of them achieved Eagle Scout rank, and a third worked on his Eagle project through COVID. I am a Master Gardener Emeritus at the University of Hawaii. I have volunteered to educate local residents, teaching Hydroponics to Developmentally Challenged Adults, Plant Science to school children, and Container Gardening at the local Senior Center. I have served on the Ainaloa Association board for the past three years, and respectfully ask for your vote to continue my service.
BOARD MEMBER: KAINOA TORRES: Aloha my name is Kainoa Torres. I have been a homeowner and resident in Ainaloa for 24 years. I would like to be on the ballot as a candidate of the Ainaloa Community Association Board. I am a father of four children and raised them in our subdivision. My top goals as a board member would be to fix the upper unpaved roads in our subdivision. In addition, I would like to maintain the speed bumps visibility with yellow paint to make roads safer for our residents and children. I would also like to set a budget aside to build rain shelters for the students at their bus stops. Another concern I would like to address is the maintenance of the street corners of overgrown invasive grass that cuts visibility of drivers turning onto Ainaloa Boulevard. I would appreciate your vote. Thank you very much.
