LCC Board Elections and Nominees

We elect our Leschi Community Council executive board members for two-year terms in even-numbered years. To read our by-laws and learn more about positions, visit our website at leschicommunitycouncil.org and select LCC By-laws under the About tab. All active supporting members of LCC are eligible to vote. To qualify as an active supporting member, you must be current on annual dues.

At the time of publication, we have three candidates nominated for Board member positions, but there is still an opportunity to nominate yourself or someone else. Contact Nikola (Nominating Committee Chair) at leschivp@gmail.com if you would like to run or nominate someone.

• President: Ashley Martin has been nominated for a second term. She is a 12-year Leschi resident who supported the LCC as a member prior to joining the board, joining as a volunteer in 2021. She believes that a connected neighborhood community is important, and that our Leschi community also contributes to making Seattle more vibrant and strong.

• Vice President: Nikola Davidson has been nominated for a second term. She is a 26-year Leschi resident and has made significant contributions during her time on the board. She has helped plan our most engaging community meetings and also designed a membership renewal program. She has provided Parks and Greenspace leadership, including activating the Leschi Natural Area restoration, organizing work parties and facilitating a strong relationship between Seattle Parks and our local park stewards.

• Secretary: Maya Cutforth has been nominated for Secretary. Maya has lived in Leschi for 4 years. She has loved getting involved with the LCC as a way to get to know her neighbors and to learn about everything from parks to politics to local history. She would be a welcome addition to the board, bringing a fresh perspective as well as strategic planning and good communication skills.

• Treasurer: Matthias Linnenkamp, our current Treasurer, has served two terms, which means he has termed out. We don’t have another candidate, so he has accepted the nomination to serve another term. He has documented the responsibilities, streamlined the reporting process and is training a new volunteer to help out with some of the Treasurer tasks. We would like to transition this to a new Treasurer in 2028, so please contact him at leschitreasurer@gmail.com to learn more.
