Martina Steinkusz is moving on from her role as Acting Chair of the KNA, a role she took on when the previous chair retried prior to the pandemic. Martina has been a steadfast advocate of the King Neighborhood and green energy projects, and was a fantastic chair; she will be missed. However, Martina and her family are leaving Portland for her new home in Washington County. It’s not so far that she will be a total stranger to us, and we hope to see her again on occasion. Let’s everyone thank Martina for her hard work in organizing, administration, grant writing, and running the KNA, both in front and behind the scenes.
