By LINDA DELA CRUZ Hailey Hermosa has gone from intern to executive director of the Windward Unit for the American Cancer Society in Hawaii. While completing the last stage of her master’s degree in com- munity health from Old Dominion University in Virginia, Hermosa worked for six weeks last summer as an intern with the ACS Honolulu Unit. When Lani Almanza moved to the Honolulu office to become the Community Liaison, the Windward executive director posi- tion opened up. “I applied, and they knew my work, so they hired me,” said Hermosa, who also became a res- ident of Enchanted Lake last week. Hermosa plans to raise funds with corporate sponsors and com- munity outreach, as well as man- age the four signature ACS events for the Windward office — the Relays For Life in Waimanalo, Kailua, Kaneohe and Koolauloa. “It’s going to be great because we have a good team here,” Hermosa declared. Hermosa’s husband, Paul, will resume performing as a rock musician once they get settled here from Virginia. The ACS Windward Unit is located at 130 Kailua Road. For more information, call 262-5124.
