Board Chair

My name is Ken Strobel. I've lived in the Stevens Square-Loring Heights Neighborhood for 29 years, and have been a volunteer with the SSCO most of that time. I am member of the neighborhood Safety Team (formerly Block Patrol).

Treasurer

Karen is a long-time resident and active volunteer in the Stevens-Square Loring Heights neighborhood. She has acted as Treasurer of the neighborhood organization on and off the Board for many years, and is familiar with its various funding sources, expenses and reporting requirements. Karen is an attorney in her working life, and enjoys helping people. She has seen the neighborhood go through many changes, and loves the dynamic nature of Stevens Square.

Secretary
tay.sullivan@sevenssquare.org

Tay has been in the Stevens Square neighborhood for four years and volunteering with SSCO for nearly the entire time. When it is warm enough, Tay likes to spend time in Stevens Square Park and shop at Old School thrift shop. When it is too cold, they spend time at home with their two cats, dog, and rabbit.

Ann moved to Stevens Square a year ago after 30+ years in the Midway area of St. Paul. She has enjoyed the transition, partly because her children both live on this side of the river. Ann retired in 2019 after 30 years as a middle school teacher and still does a little teacher training here and there. She is excited to help out on the board and get to know my neighbors.

Scott has in Stevens Square since Feb. 2017, and before that, lived at 215 Oak Grove St for 33 years, so has been in the neighborhood a long time. Scott has had a lifetime of experience in government and is now retired.

Stevens' Square is unique and our surroundings are constantly changing. It's exciting to live in a thriving, walkable, and bike-friendly community with plenty of amenities. I would like to see our community continue to thrive and cultivate our "Pride of Place" by continuing and expanding our "Civics and Cinema" series. As its current facilitator, I've enjoyed sharing my passions for film and civic engagement with our neighbors. I'm retired. I used to do a lot of things, but I mostly worked in the high-tech data and internet industry.

My name is Jody Podulke. I’ve lived in Stevens Square since February of 2020 and having grown up in rural North Dakota I really love how warm, welcoming and close knit this neighborhood is. I’m active with the SSCO Safety team and enjoy helping with the many events the SSCO puts on like Cinema and Civics and the Festivals. It’s been a great way to get out and meet my neighbors.
