Faye Family Annual Meeting

Members of the Faye ʻohana recently traveled from near and far to Kauaʻi for the annual meeting of Kikiaola Land Company. The gathering brought together family members representing multiple generations for a week of meetings, site visits, and opportunities to reconnect with one another and our community. Annual meetings provide an important opportunity to review company activities, discuss future priorities, and strengthen the shared values that have guided the family and company for generations. For many, the meeting is also a chance to spend time with relatives, learn from family leaders, and deepen their connection to the people, places, and history that make West Kauaʻi so special.

Three Decades of Dedication

For 34 years, Connie M. Heidelberger has been at the heart of Kikiaola Land Company. As Executive Secretary, she has brought dedication, professionalism, and a deep commitment to our family business every day. Connie is much more than a valued employee; she is an integral part of our Kikiaola ʻohana. We are grateful for her many contributions and proud to celebrate this remarkable milestone.
