Candidate Bios

Lauren Nadeau, Hale

We just moved here from New Jersey and I am looking to get more involved in this lovely community. I have a background in Communication Studies, and I have a lot I can offer to this community. I live in Hale neighborhood with my husband James and two children (ages 8 and 5)

Mark O'Hern, Hale

Margaret Thorpe Richards, Page

I am a longtime resident ( 30 years!) in Page and have raised my family here and love my neighborhood and neighbors and have time to give back to my community.

Heidi Girod, Diamond Lake

I'm currently a board member for a professional organization and have been for 4 years. I love taking insights from our membership and implementing them in a positive way. I have a family with 3 kids and love the things HPDL have put out over the years, and if not on the board I would like to become involved to help with ideas and implementation.

Tony Cullison, Diamond Lake

I’ve lived here for 27 years, raised two children, coached baseball and soccer. I’d like to give back and maybe help guide the neighborhood for the next people to do so.

Banning Young, Page

I’m interested in joining the board of directors to better impact the amazing community that I have now lived in for five years. As a new parent raising a little one in this amazing neighborhood I have even more of an interest in how we continue the great things already in place as well as growing new ones. I am completely invested in continuing the great things the HPDL area offers. With 10 years of professional experience ranging from sales to project management and a history starting from my youth of volunteering I’m confident my background and values will positively benefit the board and then trickle down to the greater community.

Daniel Loewenson, Diamond Lake

Have lived in Diamond Lake area for 39 years and now retired after 42 years with the Minneapolis Public Schools in a wide variety of positions. Want to join the Board and help shape the future of this area as well as maintain the strong livability of this community.
