Linda Whitener Named 2025 Ron Myers Employee of the Year
The Tribal Convenience Store Association (TCSA) announced that Linda Whitener of Soboba Roadrunner Express was named a 2025 Ron Myers Employee of the Year, one of only three employees recognized with this prestigious award.
This annual award, presented at the TCSA Fall Membership Meeting, honors the legacy of the late Ron Myers, a TCSA founding member and tireless advocate for Tribal sovereignty and economic development. The award celebrates individuals who demonstrate
excellence in customer service, leadership, performance, and community impact within Tribal convenience store operations.
Linda’s story exemplifies everything this award represents. A proud member of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, Linda joined Soboba Roadrunner Express at its launch in February 2023 and quickly became its cornerstone. Starting as a supervisor, she now serves as the store’s system manager, known lovingly as the store's “mom” for her compassionate leadership and team-first mindset. In her time at Roadrunner Express, Linda has not only improved operations but redefined what a Tribal c-store can be. She implemented innovative cash handling and inventory systems, crafted a food menu rooted in Soboba culture, and mentored young Tribal employees through their first work experiences—instilling pride, discipline, and a sense of purpose.
“Linda isn’t just managing a store—she’s preserving our heritage and building a future for our people,” said the Board of Soboba Economic Development Corporation. “She embodies everything Ron Myers stood for: community, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to Tribal success."
The award was presented at the TCSA Annual Meeting on Wednesday, September 17, at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington, where she received a custom plaque and a $500 cash award.
This year, TCSA received a record 20 nominations from across Indian Country, reflecting the incredible talent and dedication of Tribal c-store employees nationwide. Only three were selected.
