Meet the HAT Board.

Wendi Riser began the Hermon Advance Team in 2002 , founded to create opportunities for Hermonites to participate in community care and beautification. There have been years of monthly clean-ups, amazing art installations, creation of the beautiful Hermon monument sign, more than 100 free trees planted into parkways and resident's gardens, and meetings to address issues from safety to Councilmember candidate forums. The email newsletter "All Things Hermon" is Wendi's way of keeping friends of Hermon in the know as well as amused with quirky Hermon stories. She and her husband live in the home her grandparents had built on a Hermon hillside over 50 years ago. Retired April 2023.

Miguel Martinez has been a member of the Hermon Advance Board since 2016. Miguel is a regular participant of the monthly Hermon Clean-Up events. Miguel's favorite focus is the entrance to Debs Park at the Via Marisol entrance. Through a bumper, chairs, window blinds, and other bits and pieces of what people have dumped, Miguel has almost single-handily kept the entrance clean and safe for hikers, bird-watchers, and dog-walkers to pass through.

Kate Aguilera is a long time resident of Hermon. Kate and her husband Jaime, took over Hermon Clean Team in May of 2021. With a grant from the Hermon Neighborhood Council and the backing of City Council District 14, Kate set out to the hardware store to buy everything that could possibly be needed for a clean-up. With a car full of tools, snacks, gloves, masks, trash bags, water bottles, hand sanitizer and wipes, goodies for giveaways, and a bunch of other stuff... with COVID era protocols in place... they set up to revive Hermon's monthly clean-ups. Come join her and the rest of your neighbors every 1st Saturday of the month to help make Hermon and even better place to live, work, and play. Kate and HAT earned a grant from CD-14 and organized local artists for the signal box project. Check out the project on the tab up top.
