Meet our Board
Matt Olsen (Chair)
email: chair.LarskpurNA@gmail.com
Matt moved to Bend in 1996, after serving in the Marine Corps, and has lived in the Larkspur neighborhood since 2003. He loves the relaxed feeling of the neighborhood and that it's only about 10 minutes to anywhere. He appreciates Bend's eclectic nature while still having a "smaller" town feel. Matt has worked with teaching at-risk youth through the Oregon Youth Challenge since 1999. He has kept active in the community, serving on the Larkspur Neighborhood Association board, the Bikes and Pedestrian Action Committee (BPAC) and with Deschutes County Search and Rescue (DCSAR). He enjoys walking through the neighborhood in the evenings and taking the dogs into the Oregon Badlands.
Lynn Nebus (Vice Chair / Transportation Chair)
email: vicechair.LarkspurNA@gmail.com / transportation.LarkspurNA@gmail.com
Lynn purchased a home in the Larkspur neighborhood in 2010 while she continued to live and work in San Diego. In the summer of 2016 she was able to move to Bend full-time, and she loves her new home and neighborhood with its abundant trees and space, and friendly neighbors. With a 27-year career in corporate finance, Lynn worked for some of America’s largest technology companies. Her passion is the outdoors, and she appreciates the proximity of so many outdoor opportunities in central Oregon along with the great quality of life here. Lynn volunteered to be on the Larkspur board because she wants to make a positive contribution to her neighborhood.
Amelia Roberts (Secretary / Treasurer)

Ariel Siebe (Communications Chair)

Ariel lives in Bend’s Larkspur neighborhood with her husband and their baby girl. Prior to moving to Bend, she lived in Colorado and ran digital marketing for a region of Whole Foods Market. Ariel has also been a doula for quite some time, supporting laboring women in hospitals. She loves to garden and is a proud backyard chicken owner. Ariel looks forward to serving on the board, with particular interest in finding ways to preserve the community's trail systems and green space as the neighborhood evolves.
Sue Sullivan (Land Use Chair)
email: LarkspurLandUseCommittee@gmail.com
Sue is a long time Oregon resident but relatively new to Bend. She is a retired Paper Process Engineer, and moved from the Willamette Valley to Bend in 2013. Sue and her husband John Mowat enjoy cross country skiing, hiking, biking, and "any sort of outdoor activity that doesn't involve use of a ball". In her role as Land Use Chair she serves as a liaison with the city planning commission and as a resource for land use questions in our neighborhood. She is glad to help find answers to questions related to land use and seeks to keep people informed of any upcoming development proposals
