Meet your new Neighborhood District Coordinator: Jenny Frankl

If you don’t recognize at least two of the people in our photo – you probably aren’t involved with a local neighborhood council or project (yet!). Just as this morning’s storm hit its peak, we were visiting the city’s Neighborhood Service Center at Southwest Teen Life Center (2801 SW Thistle) after getting word that a new Neighborhood District Coordinator had joined the South Region team. That’s her at right – Jenny Frankl, with, from left, Yun Pitre and Ed Pottharst. Their work for the city’s Department of Neighborhoods involves serving as liaisons between community groups/members and city government, and a LOT more – explained here. You might know Jenny already from the long list of Department of Neighborhoods programs on which she’s worked since 2008.

Where did Steve Louie go?

C, I finally just got the reply to that from DON spokesperson Lois Maag, who says, “Steve Louie retired. He wanted to leave quietly, so we respected his wishes.” (For anyone reading this who didn’t know Steve – he had been one of the three South Region coordinators before Jenny’s arrival.)
