Having previously worked as content coordinator for Generations Magazine from 2020 to 2021, I returned when my daughter-in-law, Cynthia Arnold, took ownership.

I believe Cynthia’s vision, compassion and connections will make the magazine an even more valuable resource for Hawai‘i’s current and future generations of kūpuna. I was also excited to again work with many familiar Partners and the talented team of professionals creating the magazine.

My background includes 28 years as CEO of statewide professional nonprofit organizations— 10 of those with my association management company. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from Virginia Commonwealth University and earned the Certified Association Executive designation from the American Society of Association Executives. I have served as president of state and national associations.

Retired in 2020, I reside in Virginia Beach, Va., and enjoy the beautiful views of the Chesapeake Bay from my condo while watching cruise ships pass by. I love pickleball and play almost every day. I will visit Hawai‘i twice this year to meet Generations’ Partners at the popular Aging in Place Workshop in August, and attend the Partner breakfast in December.

My son, Trey Arnold, and daughter-in-law Cynthia are the proud parents of 13-year-old Alexis. My daughter Christy lives in Chesterfield, Va., with daughters Emma, a senior at James Madison University, and Penelope, a high school junior.
