Maren Sederquist published Village Hubs Leadership in Outstanding Volunteers 2026-04-17 23:52:42 -0700
Outstanding Leadership

Jim Pitchford and Jennifer Scott Brand received certificates of appreciation for their Outstanding Leadership in starting Village Hubs in Willow Glen.
During a disaster a Village Hub is a designated neighborhood gathering place. Trained volunteers share critical announcements and coordinate support among neighbors when systems like cell phones are down.
Neighborhoods everywhere should have hubs where you can learn what is happening, post messages, connect with resources, and be directed to where you can help if you want to volunteer when a disruption occurs. Thank you to Jim and Jennifer for making sure our neighborhood has hubs!

Steward of Los Gatos Creek Trail

Sam Lum, President of Hamilton Place Neighborhood Association, is a man who gets things done! He coordinated with all the agencies responsible for the Los Gatos Creek and Trail between Meridian and Bascom. He got encampments abated, signs posted, organized a cleanup for the creek, and is trying for find funding for regular bike patrols to keep the creek and trails clean and safe. Thank you for your advocacy, and for keeping the trail clean and safe Sam!

Steward of Kirk Park

in 2022, Kathy Kleinsteiber took the initiative to reach out to the city and get permission to start a little pollinator garden, which has grown and grown to encompass the whole northwest edge of Kirk Park! If you haven't yet, be sure to take a leisurely stroll through the Kirk Park Native Plant Pollinator Garden, enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers, and wonder at all the bees and butterflies. She and other volunteers are out there tending to the garden most Wednesday and Saturday mornings in, case you want to help her do some weeding, or just stop by to thank her for adding such beauty to our neighborhood and an important habitat for our much needed pollinators!

Maren Sederquist
I began my term as President of the Willow Glen Neighborhood Association (WGNA) in January 2025, after serving on the board for four years. I'm honored to take on this role and excited to continue supporting our incredible neighborhood. I summarize our goals under three pillars: Safety, Beauty, and Community. Through initiatives like neighborhood watch groups, community clean-ups, informative meetings, and fun local events, I aim to bring neighbors together and foster a more connected, resilient Willow Glen.
Volunteering has always been a big part of my life, but I truly found my stride serving on the PTA at my kids’ school. Over the years, I held several leadership positions—including webmaster, financial secretary, membership chair, and president—each focused on expanding engagement and building inclusive participation. As chair of the School Site Councils, I dug deep into district-wide policy and led efforts to enhance safety across all campuses.
Professionally, I’m a Medical Exercise Specialist, helping individuals with health challenges find safe, effective ways to stay active and improve their well-being. I'm also currently pursuing a Master of Public Health to deepen my understanding of community wellness and preventative care, with the goal of broadening my impact.
I love to help people, and get things done—and I look forward to working with all of you to keep Willow Glen thriving.
