Linda Lileikis is a Project Director, Senior Associate, and Shareholder at AHL (Architects Hawaii Ltd.), Hawaiʻi's oldest and largest architecture firm, where she serves as studio coach to nearly thirty emerging design professionals and leads the healthcare, aviation lounge, and some education market sectors. Her studio also focuses on state, civic and athletic facilities.

Linda brings more than three decades of experience on every side of the development table, including leadership roles with Pūlama Lānaʻi, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa (as an "Honorary Imagineer"), Hawaii Pacific Health, Kaiser Permanente, Forest City Hawaii, and Kukuiʻula Development. Her expertise in guiding complex public facilities from concept through construction is what she brings to the Foundation's mission of renewing the K. Mark Takai Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center.

A Punahou School graduate, Linda earned her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of New Mexico, where she was a Division I All-American swimmer. She announces for Hawaiian Swimming championship meets, ILH, HHSAA, and University of Hawaiʻi home meets. VMAC has been woven into her family's life for almost three decades: both of her children grew up swimming and competing in its pool, and today her husband and daughter each coach club teams who compete there. In ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, wai (water) is the root of waiwai (abundance). For Linda, caring for VMAC is mālama i ka wai, tending the waters so they continue to give life to generations of Hawaiʻi's swimmers.
