Current Board Members and Officers
 
President - Lou Raders
   
Lou Raders moved to Denver in 1985, first living in the Cherry Creek East neighborhood and then moving to Cherry Creek North.  An attorney by training with an expertise in real estate project development and finance and general business, Lou was with the national law firm of Kutak Rock from 1983 until she retired in August, 2019.  Lou has lived at four different addresses in Cherry Creek and has loved every minute, first becoming involved with the Cherry Creek East registered neighborhood association and then with the Cherry Creek North Neighborhood Association, as an active member and volunteer for each organization.  Lou has assisted Cherry Creek North and East in the negotiation and drafting of numerous development agreements with developers in order to document the agreements of developers with the Cherry Creek neighborhoods regarding project commitments and limitations.  Lou also served as a member of the Cherry Creek North rezoning task force at the request of then Councilwoman Robb and as a member (now Chair) of the Cherry Creek Steering Committee at the request of then-Councilman New.  She continues as the current President of Cherry Creek North Neighborhood Association and leads efforts on zoning matters, including assisting in educating and informing neighbors on zoning matters and changes, following liquor and cabaret license applications, and, where appropriate, negotiates and documents Good Neighbor Agreements to, among other things, address sound issues.  Lou and her husband, Phil Johnson, also a retired attorney, have lived at their current location for 26 years. 
 
Vice President - Linda Barker
With decades involved in education as a teacher, leader, trainer, consultant, and policy manager, Linda's transition to CCNNA’s association was seamless….relationships and community. Moving to Cherry Creek North (CCN) in 2003 brought a whole new perspective of being in a "neighborhood". The CCN neighborhood has that sense of community--neighbors gathering in social events, voicing concerns on critical issues, participating in various clubs, walking our friendly streets.... we have it all. Since being on the board she has focused her goals on enhancing our communication and connections on social media and the website. The social networking communication tools continue to focus on keeping our neighborhood connected and informed. Linda firmly believes voices do matter. CCNNA's annual fundraiser, Sip and Savor, has been a labor of love as the committee connects with neighbors, businesses, and non-profits to give back to our community. Fulfilling an interest in learning more about the many sites and hidden treasures in and around Denver, Linda spearheads a committee, Exploring Denver, to offer tours to some of Denver's interesting attractions. As Vice President, her learning curve has increased to include joining the zoning committee and the Cherry Creek Steering Committee. The opportunities in the Cherry Creek North Association reinforce her belief in united voices to make a difference. Her two golden doodles keep Linda and her husband, Paul, walking the neighborhood streets as the pups eagerly greet neighbors.
 
Treasurer - Annette Woodward
 Annette into the neighborhood in 1984 when there was only one restaurant, most of the homes were small bungalows and on a Friday night, a Saturday night and Sunday there wasn’t a car in Cherry Creek North. Seeing the changes to the neighborhood as it has evolved and grown was what compelled her  to become involved in neighborhood and community organizations over the past 25 years. Not to oppose the changes but to help shape them. She is the CCNNA treasurer, on the membership committee, and currently serves as a delegate to the Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation. She also served on the Board of Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods, and was its President for three years. I was appointed to the Neighborhood Board that worked with the University of Colorado as it transitioned its hospital and medical school to the Anschutz Campus. Annette has served on the Board of the Cherry Creek Steering Committee and the Botanical Garden’s Neighborhood Board. She was a practicing physical therapist before transitioning to the business community where she ran clinical trials for medical devices. Business opportunity brought her to Denver where she joined a group in starting a successful medical technology business. Since retiring; gardening, duplicate bridge and drawing have become her passions. Most recently, she received her certificate in Botanical Illustration from the Denver Botanical Garden’s School of Botanical Illustration.
 
Secretary - Dale Rudolph
Dale and her husband, Bill, moved from Tennessee to Denver in 2014 and found a wonderful neighborhood to join when they purchased a home in the Cherry Creek North community. She retired from a very stimulating and fulfilling career in education including development of a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education program for a Tennessee school system of 32,000 students. Her STEM consulting job now provides her opportunities to assist schools in embracing STEM teaching and learning. When she retired from full-time employment, she searched for volunteer opportunities where she would remain an active learner while she worked with others. Bill and Dale participated in many CCNNA-sponsored events, and she became chairperson of the 13 CCNNA book groups. Many residents share their love of reading and build new relationships through these groups. Dale also continues to serve as Block Captain for the Block Builders. We strive to identify a Block Builder leader for each block in the neighborhood who will help develop safe and engaging communities of each small segment of our neighborhood. The Sip and Savor committee has been a focus for her in late summer or early fall for five years. This event allows our neighborhood to raise money for those who need help while hosting a beautiful event with food and beverages provided by Cherry Creek North merchants. Cherry Creek Neighborhood Association filled a void in her life as a new resident and now gives her multiple opportunities to work with others for common goals and to make wonderful new friends.
