Linda Coble
Linda, our Rotary International President’s Representative, joined the Rotary Club of Honolulu soon after women were invited to join in 1987. Twenty six years later, Rotarians are inducted with more Rotary information, communities are more aware of Rotary’s contributions to society, and clubs better reflect the diversity of their neighborhoods. Linda is proud to have
been part of that evolution, serving as Club President and District 5000 Governor. She is a multiple Paul Harris Fellow, a Benefactor, and her district’s Communications Director.
Linda has served Rotary as an International Assembly Training Leader, RI Presidents’ Representative, RI Membership Zone Coordinator, delegate to the 2004 Council on Legislation, and Chair of the Rotary International Communications Committee.
Her award winning career in television and radio news began after graduating from the University of Oregon. The first female television news reporter and anchor in Hawaii, Linda reported the news on the top-rated morning drive radio station KSSK for 10 years.
She has been married for 29 years to television news anchor Kirk Matthews.
