I am pleased to announce that Kristel Porter joined us on August 8, 2016 as the new Executive Director for the Cleveland Neighborhood Association.

Kristel comes to us most recently from Northpoint, Inc. where she has served as an Empowerment Coach and from Resource, Inc. where she served as a Career Counselor. She holds a B.S. in Political Science from Augsburg College, and an A.A.S. in General Business Management from North Dakota State College of Science. She is also involved in many community based efforts including the Wirth Cooperative Grocery Store, Northside Resident Redevelopment Council and the Northside Greenway Council.

She has already hit the ground running this week and you will hear more from her directly in the coming weeks ahead. We are very excited to have her on board. Please join me in welcoming Kristel to our organization.

Cleveland Neighborhood Association Board Chair
