Madlena Minasian – General Stakeholder (2027)
I joined the NHWNC to support the community by volunteering. I would like to see our Neighborhood become one of the Great Neighborhoods in our City. For that to happen, we must band together as Stakeholders and Board members to give back by volunteering our time and helping one another. My fellow board members and I are passionate about our work. We believe each Stakeholder we represent is a friend. Join us. Together we are stronger!

Linda Erdman- Residential Stakeholder (2027)
I consider myself the quintessential “Valley Girl,” since I was born, raised and have lived my entire life at my current residence, which my parents built when they came to the San Fernando Valley back in 1956.I remember the time, not so long ago, when we had a horse, sheep, goats, rabbits and chickens, to name some of the critters that have graced our lives.This gives me a unique perspective on the growth and development of our community.I have previously worked in city government and have taught history among other various and sundry positions.
Back in the day, I attended Langdon Avenue and Our Lady of Peace schools. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Master’s in Public Administration from Loyola Marymount University. I also attended California State University, Northridge, where I earned a Master of Arts in History. It is my hope to bring to bear my knowledge and experience to enhance our community.
My current historical research interests include the development of the San Fernando Valley as it relates to water politics and city planning. I am currently serving on the Planning, Legislative and Ad Hoc Parking committees and look forward to making North Hills West a thriving community that is attuned to its past. I welcome any stakeholder or interested party to contact me regarding any concerns, or if you just want to discuss history.

Vacant – Community Interest Stakeholder (2027)
Because the NHWNC now operates on a staggered election cycle,
1/2 of the Board seats are now up for election every 2 years instead of all 13 seats every 2 years.
The objective is to provide in-place continuity from election to election.
A vacant seat may not be filled by appointment within 90 days of an election.
See bylaws for a detailed explanation.
