Mahalo Piha Noelani!

After 10 years of dedicated service, Noe is off to see the world!

For ten solid years The Outdoor Circle was blessed to have the skilled support of Noelani Sugata.  She worked her way up from Administrative Assistant to Operations Manager and learned every facet of the organization in the process. If you ever called The Outdoor Circle, then you have spoken with Noe.  But she did so much more than answer the phones. She:

• spearheaded the formation of TOC’s internship program,

• shepherded our Exceptional Tree mapping project through its first phases (she’s the reason Hawaii County’s trees have all been mapped),

• supported all of the back-office needs of our nine branches statewide,
• organized all of our annual meetings for the last ten years,

• oversaw all of our operations from making the printer work to making sure all the right forms got signed,
  
• set up and designed our new website,
  
• learned and then taught others how to use our powerful new membership database,

      … and so much more!

Yep, it’s true, she is amazing.  She is a real trooper with a beautiful smile and great sense of humor.  

Yet, as with all the good things, the time has come for Noe to seek out new adventures in faraway lands. Please join me in thanking Noe for all she has done for the Circle and wishing her all the best on her future endeavors.  Noe: send us postcards!
