Secretary: Ashley Kennebeck

Ashley Kennebeck grew up in small towns around Iowa (military family) before settling in Ankeny in 1999. She graduated high school in 2004 and then the University of Iowa, with a degree in sociology. A few years later she decided to follow in her parents and sister's footsteps and enlisted in the Iowa Army National Guard, where she spent eight years as a preventive medicine specialist. After hanging up the uniform, she works as an industrial hygiene tech for the Iowa National Guard. Ashley has lived in Oak Park for five years and fell in love with that "small town charm" she grew up with. Because she loves the history and pride the neighborhood has, she has been involved with the Highland Park/Oak Park Neighborhood Association for four years, currently serving as the president.
