Meet the Cully Board Members 

Kathy Fuerstenau
Chair
Kathy and her husband have lived in the Cully neighborhood since 1979, and she raised two sons while working part-time. She has always enjoyed volunteering in her community and was a Lakeside Little League board member, a PTA board member and “Volunteer of the Year” at her sons’ school 3 times. In December 2005, Kathy was honored with a Certificate of Appreciation at the Portland Bureau of Police Chief's Form Awards ceremony. It has been very rewarding for her to make a positive difference, especially the last 4 years as the CAN chairwoman. Kathy truly believes that one person can make a difference and that a group of dedicated people can effect a positive change.
