Trang Lam, Board Member
Jeffrey Lang, Board Member
Patricia Jewett, Board Member
I joined the npGreenway Board in 2017 after graduating from the America Walks online College.
I am eager to work on closing the trail gaps with the current Board. I enjoy walking and biking and am involved in active transportation advocacy.
I attend quarterly Metro Trails meetings and enjoy attending the annual Oregon Trails Summit. One of my assets is learning, listening and networking between the groups I am involved in, in order to share information. I also serve on the 40 Mile Loop Board.
I serve on the Smith Bybee Lakes Advisory committee and will be serving on the North Portland Parks Committee. Both of these groups will help keep me informed on issues regarding the npGreenway Trail.
I am involved in Volkswalking on a state and national level. I serve on America’s Walking Club Publicity Committee.
When I am not not busy volunteering I enjoy writing, learning about nature and reading. I also write a blog for the Walking and Hiking Channel for Groupworks. Currently, the blog reaches over 5900 subscribers. And I have a website www.allthingswalking.com which is in its 8th year.

Jay Bockelman, Board Member
Jay has a passion for using bikes as a primary form of transportation, and wanted to translate that passion into action. Joining the npGreenway Board has opened up an avenue for getting involved with alternative modes of transportation – for work, pleasure, school and errands. Currently Jay teaches Computer Science and Game Design at Portland Community College.
