My family and I have lived on 10th Avenue near Irving since 1978. I have served on the Board of San Francisco Tomorrow, the Kezar Advisory Committee, and I am the current President of the California Outdoor Rollersports Association. I have operated a one-man engineering design business since 1976. My focus is the creation of public spaces for our community to gather and flourish..

I have lived in the neighborhood for four years. I am a former Clarendon Elementary science and computer teacher and am currently a community tennis organizer. I serve on many non-profit boards and where I plan events and fundraising. My wife, Carla, and I have two cats and an occasional "weekend dog", and love living in the Inner Sunset. I am an avid urban biker who obeys stop signs and red lights. I love to cook dinner for friends on Sunday nights with the wonderful bounty from the Inner Sunset Farmer's Market. I am excited to join the ISPN board and continue the work to make the Inner Sunset even better.

ADAM GREENFIELD BRITTON JACKSON (Secretary) I have lived in the Inner Sunset since 2000 and joined the ISPN Board in 2010. I am the type of neighbor who enjoys getting involved in activities and I was a driving force behind the creation of the Inner Sunset Farmers' Market. My main board focus is on community building projects/events and neighborhood beautification programs.
I work in the telecommunications industry and in my spare time I enjoy community gardening and walking and biking in Golden Gate Park.

AL MINVIELLE (Co-president) My area of interest is the development of a neighborhood plan, designed by residents, that will provide direction to future changes. A proactive approach to planning will direct resources to efforts that positively impact our neighborhood. LAWRENCE ROSENFELD (Vice President & Treasurer) ROBERT SMITH WALTER VAN RIEL
I have lived in the Inner Sunset since 2007 and have been an ISPN board member since 2009. My main passion is community-building and in that pursuit I have organized local socials, games, film, and performance events; co-lead the 9th Avenue parklet project; and have co-chaired the Inner Sunset Street Fair since its beginning in 2010. I can often be found sitting out on the sidewalk in my chair, chatting with passersby. My other interests include potlucks, painting, nature hikes, bicycling, and keeping my sense of humor in check.
I've called the Inner Sunset home for almost 10 years, and I can't imagine living anywhere else in San Francisco. As soon as I moved into the neighborhood, it felt like home. And as soon as ISPN was revived three years ago, I joined the group so I could be directly involved with community-building events and expanding the reach and voice of our wonderful little section of San Francisco. Whether it's helping out at a street clean-up, planning a forum of candidates for Mayor, volunteering at the farmer's market, or signing up new members for ISPN, I am proud to participate in the activities that make the Inner Sunset a more vibrant and more connected community.
I am a 40-year resident of the Inner Sunset and original founding member of Inner Sunset Park Neighbors. I participated in the successful undergrounding project for the eastern portion of the neighborhood. I spent 6 years organizing the Annual Park clean-up projects and working with the city to control traffic at 5th Ave. and South Drive . I worked at UCSF as the director of Millberry Union and promoted partnerships between the University and neighborhood in the area of fitness, recreation and arts programming.
I have been associated with the Inner Sunset since 1994 and a permanent resident since 2006 when I retired from my engineering Manager job in the North Bay. My wife, Meg and I were here for the huge undergrounding project and saw first-hand the power of a cohesive neighborhood organization. I was part of the group that came together after the 2008 AT&T protests to bring ISPN back from deep slumber, and have held the post of Treasurer since the first board was elected in March of 2009.
I see the Inner Sunset as a sort of village that happens to exist within the boundaries of San Francisco. I think we have the privilege of a certain amount of self-determination as to how we want our neighborhood to be, and want to help provide the infrastructure for my neighbors - both residents and merchants - to get involved and practice that self-determination.
An Inner Sunset that is like a neighborhood in Paris, or any other resident-centered, agreeable, cheerful, thought-out village elsewhere in the world. That is my hope.
Those who run the city should be prodded to get rid of above-ground utility wires; have traffic lights that work; open up some pedestrian space; introduce a bit of public art; tend, develop, and beautify the neighborhood.
We have a hospital, medical school, and other institutions that call themselves world-class; they should be energetically encouraged to help make the neighborhood from which they profit world-class. They rely on our safe and vibrant neighborhood, and they should make a commitment to us.
We have other magnificent resources, but they sometimes seem to exist largely for tourists. The tourists hasten through and past us to the park, arboretum, and museums. We should forge links with the museums and other institutions-including the banks that line our streets, and the other merchants-to develop a showplace neighborhood; this would benefit them as well as us.
And we should reach out to other neighborhood and civic organizations, city-wide.
You can put me in the pie-in-the-sky category. But consider: The Farmers Market seemed improbable-yet here it is every Sunday.
I've had a broad education that includes Harvard College, Yale Law School, and Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism. I've practiced various professions, here and abroad.
I am proud to have served in the administration of President Jimmy Carter.
While I've lived in San Francisco for 35 years, I have also lived in London, Paris, Oxford, and Barcelona, among other places. I would like to see some of the best features of those cities incorporated into the Inner Sunset.
I have lived in the Inner Sunset neighborhood with my wife Maria, and two children, Katrien and Julia since 1994. I lived in Belgium for my first 22 years and moved to the US to receive a MS degree in Computer Science. Most of my working life was spent in the high tech industry in Silicon Valley as an engineer, ranging from Intel, start-ups, Silicon Graphics, and Healtheon/WebMD. Since 2000, I changed my focus to parenting my daughters, managing real estate investments and supporting my wife's pediatric clinic in San Bruno. I love San Francisco and the Inner Sunset and have been actively involved in maintaining and improving the quality of life in the neighborhood. On Sunday mornings, you can find me playing on a soccer field.
We welcome the involment of new people and encourage neighbors to become community leaders and activists. If you would like to find out how to (1) volunteer; (2) be on a subcommittee; (3) lead an initiative; or (4) run for the Board, just email us at
