Jens Kohler
Region 2 Representative
Co-Chair, Community Liaison Committee

Jens Kohler, classical actor, strategic planning consultant, poet, and dining enthusiast has lived in Silver Lake since 2003.

As a SLNC Governing Board Member, he represents Region 2, and serves on the Community Liaison Committee, Outreach Committees and Public Safety Committee. He was also SLNC's alternate representative for the City Attorney Roundtable Discussion. His trainings and certifications since becoming a Governing Board member include: Emergency Preparedness Ambassador Program, Community Emergency Response Team Level One, and Ethics and Open Government.

In 2006 he organized a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Level One training in collaboration with community stakeholders at the Dream Center. He made frequent calls to the city to fill potholes, remove graffiti in Region 2, and to fix the broken railing on the Bellevue steps. Jens was also active in weeding and moving mulch for various SLNC Beautification Committee projects like cleaning up the Gateway to Silver Lake and Beautification Day. I

n 2007 he plans to make more stakeholders aware of the city¹s 311 telephone service so they can get more services out of their local tax dollar. (Try it! Just call 311 for ANY non-emergency city service‹like graffiti removal‹or question... including homework questions, kids.) He is interested in identifying possible affordable housing opportunities in Region 2.

Jens was born in North Carolina, grew up in Canada, and has a BA in Religious Studies from McGill University in Montreal and a Masters in Performing Arts Administration from New York University. He also has a CBEST--but hasn't had a chance to put it to use yet. He is married to Emily Johnson (past Co-Chair of the Beautification Committee). This is the second year of his two-year term. His email is Jens.Kohler@silverlakenc.org
