Saman is known by her peers a fearless leader with a passion for leading organization change for the better. Saman was born and raised in Sri Lanka and rode a bicycle as an alternative method of transportation. After moving to Maui, she realized how unsafe it is to ride a bicycle on Maui. Inspired by the story of Karl Hagan, who passed away from a bicycle accident in Kihei, Saman led the formation of the Maui Bicycling League. The West Maui Greenway (WMG) is a signature project of Maui Bicycling league and Saman is part of the WMG leadership team.

Lee Chamberlain
West Maui Greenway Advocacy
A former Army Aviator, Department of Justice Special Agent/pilot, businessman, and outdoor recreation enthusiast, Lee formed a socially responsible, eco-friendly business venture, RideSmart Maui, in 2014. Following the establishment of RideSmart Maui, Lee found that although Maui is one of the best places to ride bicycles, Maui is not safe and friendly for bike riders. Lee then began a campaign for change to form Maui Bicycle League. Lee has become a member of the increasing percentage of people who want to change the common notion of transportation and mobility. West Maui Greenway is a product of Lee’s advocacy efforts.
