Board of Directors
The LCC Board of Directors is composed of residents and a business representative from the Greater Longfellow neighborhoods. We hold meetings on the third Tuesday of each month from 6pm – 8pm and they are always open to the public. The LCC Board meetings are currently held over Zoom. For a full list of meeting dates and Zoom links, please visit our events calendar. Each committee of the Board is also composed of and chaired by Greater Longfellow residents. An LCC staff member is responsible for coordinating committee meetings and ensuring the decisions of the Board and Committees are put into action. Below is a list of all current Board members and Committee leadership. For more information on the work of each committee click here. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email the board:

Read Bio
Originally from the East Coast, Ken is a local architect, focused primarily on restaurants, retail, and hospitality. This is his third time serving as an LCC board member. He’s interested in strategies to improve the built environment, whether that be improved housing density, or increasing sustainable development that serves Greater Longfellow. He’s against the rebuilding of the 3rd Precinct, wants to increase the board’s outreach to the BIPOC community in Longfellow, and reëstablish LCC offices to serve the needs of the community.
