Known in Christmas bar circles as “Jenni Liu-Who”, Jenni Liu Oda is the head elf of The Christmas Bar Hawaii, a pop-up experience from the Tiki’s Grill and Bar ʻohana, where she is a Sales Manager. Jenni’s 20+ years of experience in the industry have manifested in her embodiment of Tiki’s passion to “Make Ohana Happen,” which means to make every guest a part of their “extended” family.

Jenni describes herself as silly, but we can see her dedication in everything she does, including her commitment to fun, aloha, Halloween costumes, and EWI!

Her advice for EWI newcomers, having served on numerous boards including as President: ”You get in what you put in! Be a self-starter, but don't be afraid to ask questions. Go to the meetings! You'll learn more, grow more, laugh more, and connect more in person.”

Whether you’re malihini (tourist, visitor), kamaʻāina (native born), or local, stop in at Tiki’s for a very warm E komo mai (welcome) from Jenni and the Tiki’s ʻohana!

Meet our Fundraising Director Francine Lee-Kadota!

Francine is our Immediate Past-President, and in her 12 years of membership, has held every board and director position except one. Francine epitomizes passion and commitment to EWI!

In her own words, the one word description that she exemplifies is “trustworthy”. Francine is successful because she has earned the trust of her clients. She is also dedicated, tenacious, and loyal.

She loves the ocean, surfing, and playing the ukulele.

Her advice to newcomers, “be involved…set a goal to become a Board Member”. The adage is true, ….”You only get back what you put into it... but it does come back gift-wrapped.” So give yourself the “gift” of involvement!... the rewards are great!

Aloha Francine!

Next in our series is Jacqui Sovde of member firm Kamehameha Schools. She is our current Secretary and Communications Director.

Jacqui grew up in Los Angeles, spent a decade in DC, and moved to Hawaii a little over 7 years ago to help look after her two nieces while establishing herself here.

Jacqui celebrated her five year anniversary with Kamehameha Schools in August 2024.

Jacqui's advice for new and young EWI members? "Speak up! You'll never know if others feel the same way, are interested in the same things, or have the same point of view, unless you say it!"

Ask Jacqui about ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, or find her on Duolingo!

Aloha Jacqui!
