BWNA Board Welcomes Newest Member

At the August board meeting, Tom Cuppernull was enthusiastically approved to fill the one remaining vacant board position. Here’s a little about Tom in his own words:

“I’m thrilled to join the BWNA board! My partner Katie and I relocated to PDX after a 7-month road trip in 2021, during which we fell in love with Portland and Beaumont-Wilshire. Morning walks to Prince Coffee, picking up games at Puddletown, and taking my pup Oakley to Wilshire Park are some of my favorite B-W activities. I’m passionate about creating experiences that make people feel welcome and excited to live in this neighborhood, and I hope to leverage my background in event production, business strategy, and community management to make an impact. Originally from central New York, so … Go Bills!”
