The board bids farewell to Jessie Reuben as liaison for the Museum District Woman’s Club. We will miss her laughter and sense of humor at the board meetings but are happy to announce her recent membership on the Mother’s Day House & Garden Tour committee. Jessie and her husband Jay participated as homeowners for the tour and have been enthusiastic supporters of the neighborhood. We are pleased to keep Jessie in the ranks of leadership for the MDA.
Matt Suttle is leaving the board after tenure as communications director. Anyone who the receives the Monday e-news from the MDA is familiar with the professionalism and talent that Matt brought to the board. We are excited for Matt’s recent engagement and extend best wishes as he starts a new chapter with his fiancée. Hopefully they will find their way back to the Museum District some day.
The board bids farewell to Nick Simopoulos who served as city liaison for the past year. In addition to starting a law practice, Nick and his wife Jodi welcomed a baby girl in 2019. We wish them well as they adjust to their growing family.
Ron Russ has retired from the board after several years of service as the safety chair. Ron provided thorough crime statistic reports and practical safety guidance for residents. Fellow board members appreciated his positive approach to life and level-headed contributions to issues before the board. We look forward to seeing Ron enjoying his retirement, listening and dancing during jazz nights at the VMFA.
