RPNA Executive Team
Candyce Offett Hawkins
Candyce is President of RPNA. She has lived in Ransom Place her entire life. In her family, she is the third generation to live in the neighborhood, her daughter the fourth. She loves living in Ransom Place because it is in walking distance to so many restaurants and historic buildings and places, and she’s gotten to watch it change and evolve over the years.
Sylva Johnson Zhang
Sylva serves as Vice President. She moved to Ransom Place in 2015 and feels privileged to call this incredible community her home. From having a neighbor offer to fix her broken faucet, to being able to bike to work, to recognizing her post lady, she has never felt more connected than in this little pocket of Indianapolis.
Theresa Crawford Cottonham
Theresa, our Treasurer, has been part of Ransom Place in the spring of 1994. She works as a resource coordinator, matching resident with needed resources and employment opportunities, and is a strong advocate for improving quality of life. Neighbors appreciate her commitment to honest and transparency.
Kate Dobson
Kate Dobson recently joined the neighborhood, and answered the call to serve as RPNA secretary. She is the Assistant Director of International Alumni Relations at Indiana University Alumni Association, and her dedication to building community is evident in all she does.
