Chair: Rachel Davies
I moved to Creston-Kenilworth in 2008 and immediately fell in love with the quiet, laid-back friendliness of the neighborhood.
I have a B.A. in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry, from Oberlin College in Ohio, and an M.S. in Biology from Arizona State University.

Outreach and Communications Chair: Elizabeth Durham McPherson
I grew up near 45th and Division, and spent my childhood playing in Creston Park and taking violin lessons at the Community Music Center. My wife and I have lived in Creston-Kenilworth since 2009, first as renters and now as homeowners.
In addition to serving on the neighborhood association board I am also involved with the Grout PTA. I believe in neighbors helping neighbors, and building strong inclusive communities from the ground up.
If you have leads about neighborhood events you think we should know about, or have ideas on how you'd like to get more involved, you can email me at ckna.outreach@gmail.com

Member at Large: Jason de Parrie-Turner
After visiting Portland as a child, I decided to move here in 2004. The CKNA neighborhood has been my home since 2008, which is where I met my wife Jeanne. We are both passionate about community and making ours a more vibrant place.
I have an MA in media studies from Sacramento State and am co-owner of Heliorana Filmworks. I first got involved with film and video when I was 6 years old. I made several national and international commercials, which paid my way through college.
Many, many moons ago, I was the drummer for the 90s band Pavement and more recently have taken up Taiko drumming. I like incorporating rhythm in my editing.

Member at Large: John Legler
I have been interested in sustainable living and community resilience for most of my life. Upon my retirement, I was able to relocate from Minnesota and join an eco-village here in Creston-Kenilworth. I spend much of my time tending to both my individual garden and our community gardens. As a renter and a cyclist, I am a proponent of affordable housing, and walk-able, bike-friendly neighborhoods.
I am an active member of Portland's Neighborhood Emergency Team, and am currently Co-Leader of the Creston-Kenilworth Team. I am also the Chairperson of CKNA's Community Preparedness and Resilience Committee.
