Aloha Outrigger® ‘ohana
It is my pleasure to announce that Outrigger now has three seasoned professionals serving as North American
global account managers, reporting to Richard Oshiro, area director of leisure sales. This team is responsible for
driving business to our global portfolio from within their respective geographies; increasing our Outrigger Expert
Agent base; calling on key mainland customers; and strengthening relationships with our valued wholesale
partners. Please join me in recognizing the North American team:
Alani Liu is based in Northern California and covers the Oregon, Washington and Nevada
territories; she has been representing Outrigger for 18 years and shares that she is
grateful to all those from Outrigger who have supported her in the field all these years.
Prior to Outrigger, she worked at Village Resorts and Classic Vacations, both based in
Northern California.
Alani keeps abreast and involved in the industry and has served in several capacities with
San Jose PATA, San Jose and also Monterey Travel Professionals and Northern California
Hawaii Ohana.
Alani’s daughter Shawn recently married. Alani and longtime “significant other” Kevin have a Shih Tzu, Golden
Retriever and a few cats that keep them busy. She enjoys distance trail running, open water swimming and of
course, travel.
Cindy Cunningham is based in Chicago and covers the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast,
Colorado and Nebraska territories; she opened the first Midwest-based Outrigger
Resorts sales office over 25 years ago. While attending college Cindy began her career in
the travel industry working part-time for United Airlines at O’Hare International Airport.
Upon graduation she worked as a sales representative for MTI Vacations, a former tour
operator based in Oak Brook, Illinois.
Cindy holds a bachelor’s degree from Illinois State University. Fully committed to the
hospitality industry, she has served on the board of directors for Midwest ASTA and
Midwest Ohana. She remains an active member with both organizations.
Cindy always looks forward to spending time at any Outrigger Resorts destination especially after a long Chicago
winter. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends. Her favorite sports teams are the
Chicago Blackhawks, Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos.
