VICE PRESIDENT - VACANT ROLE
TREASURER - JIM ZIMMERMAN
In my early career I spent several years as a bookkeeper and thoroughly enjoyed it. But computer programming was even more fun so I returned to college to earn a Bachelor's degree and switched careers. I continue to keep complete records of my personal finances and have been teased about it mercilessly by my family. Although I'm retired I began working as a volunteer bookkeeper for a small company, doing payroll for a single employee and discovered it helps me keep track of which day of the week it is.
When I discovered there was a vacancy in the Treasurer position for the NRNA it only took me a few minutes to decide to volunteer for it. It's something I know how to do and it will keep me aware of the things happening in our neighborhood.

BOARD, Karen McKinnon
I have been a resident of Washington all my life. I was born and raised in the once small, rural town of Issaquah. I moved all the way to Renton in 1985 and have lived in the neighborhood the past 39 years.
Over the years I seen the good, the bad and the ugly. I've observed neighbors helping neighbors. I've seen a once thriving, family friendly area begin to decline. I've also witnessed the great things that can be accomplished when a community comes together. We are beginning to thrive again!
I am grateful for my neighbors and my community every day. Serving as on the Board of the NRNA is one way I can give back.
BOARD, Nancy Monahan
I moved to Renton in 2008 when my spouse took a job here. I retired, after 20 years, with the Navy and Coast Guard which took me from the East to West Coast, and missions to the Bering Sea doing fishery patrols and law enforcement. I also was part of the team who repatriated Haitians and Cubans in 1994.I joined the Board in approximately 2013 to give back to the community I live in. And in my free time, I garden, rescued 3 rabbits (George, Henri, and Josephine), and as a Veteran, I'm a member of the American Legion post 204, which is an all woman post.
BOARD, Nora Schultz
When I was young this was a strong neighborhood where folks knew each other and could work together to solve issues. It’s my personal goal to get back to that. They say fences make good neighbors, but I disagree. Fear and distrust of strangers has fractured our communities and made it easy for criminals to prey on us. It’s important for people to get back to connecting with their neighbors. Our neighborhood is more diverse now and sometimes that can cause mistrust. It’s important we make connections with all our neighbors. That’s what makes great neighborhoods.
