New MHNA Board Members

Welcome New Board Members!

Elections were held at the Murray Hill General Meeting on October 22 with returning board members Gerard Capell (vice-president), Gary Halvorsen (Treasurer), Cate Diecher (Board Member) being re-elected for 2 year terms.  We welcome two new board members — John Bleidorn (Board Member) and Mike Darnell (Secretary) and appreciate their commitment to the Murray Hill neighborhood.

John Bleidorn has lived with his wife in an owner-occupied duplex on the 2700 block of North Murray since 2006 and is an alumnus of UWM.  He cares about and hopes to share his perspective on the Murray Hill area as a Board Member.  John hopes that he can also share experiences as a landlord and his expertise as a small business owner (accountant, CPA and investment advisor).

Mike Darnell moved back to the Murray Hill neighborhood in 2011. He and his family lived in Murray Hill in the 1990s while he was finishing his graduate degree.   Mike has taught and worked at UWM in several departments since 1997 and has extensive experience in management, financial functions and technology.  Mike has already shared new ideas and his organizational skills as secretary on the MHNA Board for the past few months and has committed to serve the remainder of the term.

Continued thanks to all of our MHNA board members for their dedication and commitment to the neighborhood!
