Kathryn is a graduate of the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communications with a focus on public relations. She grew up in Rhode Island, but moved to Fort Myers halfway through her college years and has been enjoying the Sunshine State ever since, especially after years of visiting Sanibel and Captiva almost every summer. 

Kathryn was first introduced to the Captiva Civic Association in the summer of 2023 as an assistant, and was eager to return for her first post-graduation job.  With her prior experience in event planning as part of her college’s Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), she is excited to dedicate her time to putting together events to better the community of Captiva.

Cindy comes to Captiva through a longtime family history on the island. Having been homeowners since the early 1980’s the Kaiser’s have been an integral part of the preservation and restoration of our beaches. Harry Kaiser was a Commissioner for the Captiva Erosion Prevention District since the 1988 island-wide renourishment program. 

Cindy, originally from Long Island, New York, relocated to Captiva in 2021 from Park City, Utah where she lived and worked for over 25 years.  A drastic change from the snowy mountains to our beach community, however her love of the surf and sand prevailed. Cindy has an extensive background in special events, throughout her career. Most recently, Cindy served as a Sales & Events Manager at ‘Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa. 

Cindy is looking forward to utilizing her expertise to further the mission of Captiva Civic Association and our members’ quality of life, along with the ambiance and environmental integrity of this unique barrier island community.
