Lake Strongheart McTighe Senior Transportation Planner, Metro
Lake is a senior transportation planner at Metro and is currently managing the development of the Regional Active Transportation Plan. She is a passionate believer in the power of the bicycles to enrich lives. She sees the Community Cycling Center transforming lives and is excited to be part of that work. Susan B. Anthony said, “Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel…the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.” Lake has had that experience and believes that it is true for everyone, and that the Community Cycling Center is helping to make it happen in Portland.
Keil Mueller Attorney, Stoll Berne
Keil is a trial lawyer at Stoll Berne. He represents individual and corporate clients in all manner of complex business litigation, including securities and financial fraud litigation, shareholder and partnership disputes, contract disputes, franchise disputes, and trade secrets litigation.
Keil began volunteering at the Community Cycling Center’s drop-in nights in 2010 and also served on the Center’s Finance Committee. He is excited to deepen his involvement with the Center as a board member and to support and help shape our efforts to expand access to bicycling.
Vivian Satterfield Associate Director, OPAL
The only child of an immigrant mother from Taiwan and an Army veteran from Missouri, Vivian grew up in inner-city Chicago, where a passion for working with diverse communities and a desire to live in a more temperate climate brought her to Portland in 2008. She’s been lucky enough to pursue her dreams of continuing good work with the people and places that need it most, first with affordable housing in Outer Southeast Portland neighborhoods at ROSE Community Development, and now advocating for urban Environmental Justice at OPAL Environmental Justice Oregon. To add a bit of excitement in her life, Vivian enjoys racing bikes both on the road and on the velodrome and is excited to join the board of the Community Cycling Center to continue to engage residents of Portland in experiencing cycling as a safe, fun and healthful way to enjoy all that our city and region has to offer.
