PATH: Executive Director Tina Clothier Recognized with Kaiser Permanente Honor Roll Award
January 14, 2019
PATH (Peoples Advocacy for Trails Hawaii) Executive Director Tina Clothier was honored as one of Kaiser Permanente’s 2018 Honor Roll Champions in their Thriving Schools Honor Roll awards program. She is one of nineteen awardees nationwide, including staff, teachers, youth, parents, community leaders and union leaders.
“I humbly accept this award on behalf of our Bike Ed team and our community partners like Blue Zones and Hawaii Institute of Public Health,” said PATH Executive Director Tina Clothier.
Honoring Clothier, the Kaiser Permanente Thriving Schools webpage shares the following:
“A convener. An innovator. A bold leader. These are the titles that are used to describe the way that Tina Clothier goes about her work. As the head of PATH, a small but dynamic non-profit organization committed to promoting community health across Hawaii’s Big Island, Tina has been instrumental in building support for active transportation, particularly among Hawaii’s schools.
Tina and PATH played a key role in establishing the Mayor’s Active Living Advisory Committee (MALAC), an advisory group made up of representatives from the county; the State Departments of Transportation; and the health, education, and business sectors who work with the mayor to enact policies and initiatives that foster safe, healthy, and active schools and communities. The success of PATH’s outreach and collaboration efforts is evident in the proliferation of walking and biking education programs, walk to school days, and the passing of a statewide Complete Streets policy that is the first of its kind in the country.”
