The Humboldt Neighborhood association was re-established in the summer of 2025. We voted in our board and approved our new by-laws that same winter. We’re still ramping up, but are incredibly excited to meet all our neighbors and serve the community in any way we can! Learn more about our board members below but know that the best way to get to know us is to come to our next HNA meeting and say “hello”!
Officers and Chairfolk
Lynne Randall – President
Lynne Randall (President) is so excited to live out her Leslie Knope dreams by revitalizing the Humboldt Neighborhood Association. An experienced, well-rounded public servant, Lynne has spent her career exploring different aspects of local government and non-profits, including the Y of Greater Seattle, the Highline School District and the Washington State Legislature. Lynne moved into the Humboldt neighborhood in 2019 to marry Jeremy (Technology Chair) and have an adorable Portland native baby, Jon Finley. Since moving to Portland, Lynne previously worked for Multnomah County’s Division of Assessment, Taxation, and Recording, issuing marriage licenses and taking property tax payments, and now works for the Portland Revenue Division, taking calls from taxpayers about the myriad of local taxes in our region. You might have encountered her in the neighborhood slinging beers on the patio at McMenamins Chapel Pub or knocking on doors during election season as a Precinct Committeeperson. Lynne is the class mom for her child’s Preschool For All class, organizes with Singing Resistance PDX, and enjoys knitting and reading during her (increasingly scarce) free time.

Madison Wagner – Treasurer
Madison Wagner (Treasurer) is passionate about making finances feel accessible instead of intimidating. By day, she works as an accountant for a local tax firm, helping translate complicated tax and financial jargon into language people can actually understand. She previously worked in operations for a Minnesota-based environmental nonprofit and holds a Master’s degree in Accounting.
Madison has lived in the neighborhood for four years and loves the sense of community that comes from chatting with neighbors while out in her garden. She can typically be found grabbing takeout from one of our neighborhood’s many amazing restaurants or sitting on the patio at one of our many lovely (divey) bars. She’s excited to help keep the neighborhood association financially healthy, transparent, and approachable for everyone. Get in touch with Madison here!
Secretary
The HNA is recruiting for a Secretary! The Secretary’s primary responsibilities are providing timely meeting notifications, maintaining an updated board roster, taking minutes at each meeting, and getting meeting minutes and bylaws to our parent organization, Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods. Please reach out or attend the next meeting if you are interested in helping our small but mighty organization with these administrative tasks.
Board Chairs
Joshua Eichen – Safety and Livability Chair
Joshua is our Safety and Livability Team Chair. A longtime resident of the Humboldt Neighborhood, he likes meeting old friends in the community almost as much as he likes making new ones. He’s smart, friendly, and very capable. We like Joshua, and we bet you will too! Get in touch with Joshua here!
Jeremy Duke – Technology Chair
Jeremy Duke is our Technology Chair. He’s responsible not only for this website and the emails you’ll receive when you sign up, but is also the resident sound engineer for musicians at our Block Party and is the AV magician for our hybrid meetings. Jeremy is an experienced software developer, a runner, a reader, and enjoys playing The Legend of Zelda with his small son telling him what he’s doing wrong. Contact Jeremy here!
You? – Local Passion Project Chair or HNA Member
We wouldn’t be a neighborhood without you. So it stands to reason that we can’t be a representative Neighborhood Association without you either! Seriously, we want you to come join us! We are accepting nominations for Board Members at our upcoming September meeting, and elections will be held in October. Check the calendar in the sidebar for meeting details. Come tell us what you love about our neighborhood, or what changes you want to be involved in making to keep it vibrant! Check out our membership page for more info on how to join.
Bylaws
A copy of our most recent bylaws can be found here. These were voted in on April 27, 2026.
The Board is proposing some minor changes to the bylaws, mainly changing the title “Chair” to include “Chair or President,” and to allow for two co-chairs to lead the HNA together. You can review these changes here. These will be presented to the membership for a vote at the September meeting.
