PRESIDENT

Kay Anderson, RN, has more than 40 years of nursing experience across the civilian sector, the Veterans Health System, and as a United States Air Force officer. She also served as a senior sales executive for several Fortune 500 health care companies, collaborating with executive leadership to address clinical challenges and fiscal priorities. On Maui, Kay has served as a board member and president of an AOAO, managing a multi‑million‑dollar annual budget and a multi‑million‑dollar construction defect settlement. Her extensive clinical background underpins her volunteer work as a Nurse Navigator, guiding cancer survivors through their individual journeys, as well as her volunteer service with the national liver cancer foundation Blue Faery and her past role as treasurer of Maui Cancer Resources.
Kay is an active member of the Maui Alliance and works with Maui Tomorrow’s Water Committee, focusing on water security amid Maui’s drought and ongoing development. She is the President and Founder of Wailea 808, a non-profit organization she organized after recognizing that the South Maui Community Plan advanced large‑scale luxury buildout—approximately 8,300 homes—with limited affordable housing and without adequate water, transportation infrastructure, emergency egress, or first‑responder capacity to protect current residents and visitors.
SECRETARY
Sandy and her husband have enjoyed the beauty of Wailea since 1985 and now has a home in an AOAO in South Maui. She is concerned that the current infrastructure is not adequate for proposed developments. Local residents and workers need affordable housing, not luxury units. Water supply, traffic congestion, emergency services, and disaster egress must all be addressed prior to future development. Residents must become involved in protecting the beauty and quality of life that brought us to Maui. Sandy worked as an educator, operated an online sales platform, and provided customer service evaluations to retail businesses. Sandy currently owns a retail vintage business. She has served on multiple HOA boards and committees in Washington State and on Maui. She is active in non-profits that support youth, suicide prevention, and women’s health.
VICE PRESIDENT
Donald W. Carlson is the Senior Founding Partner of Carlson, Calladine & Peterson LLP in San Francisco and a nationally recognized trial lawyer. He is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, and the International Society of Barristers, and is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), the four leading invitation-only organizations honoring trial attorneys for excellence, professionalism, and substantial jury trial experience.
In Wailea, Don has served on his AOAO Board of Directors and, after recognizing South Maui’s serious infrastructure challenges—water, sewer, roads, first responders, and the planned addition of 8,300 homes in the South Maui Community Plan—he joined Wailea808 as Vice President to help drive change. He is also an active member of the Maui Alliance Organization, a nonprofit aligned with our mission. Don retired from practice effective December 31, 2022, following his last two jury trials in Maui Circuit Court.
TREASURER
Frank Anderson is a 13‑year full-time resident of Kai Malu at Wailea, where he lives with his wife, Kay. He is a 1977 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and a 32‑year Air Force and Air Force Reserve veteran, retiring as a Brigadier General in 2009 after flying F‑16s for 18 years and serving in senior Pentagon policy and budget roles.
At Kai Malu, Frank joined the Facilities Committee in 2019, later serving as chairman and helping guide major capital projects, including Hale solar power and roof tile replacements. Appointed to the Board of Directors in 2024 and elected in 2025, he has focused on modernizing the community’s irrigation system, implementing a new control platform that alerts staff to developing leaks and is saving over $80,000 annually in water losses and roughly $5,000 monthly in over‑watering.
