Meet the HNBIA Team
We are small, but we are mighty! Meet our team down below.
Patricia Barnes
Executive Director
Meet Patricia!
She’s been the Executive Director of our neighbourhood BIA since 2001! That’s right she’s the first ED to be hired for our BIA 19 years ago.
Patricia is very involved in community as she sits on several Boards including the Vancouver Police Board, Living in Community, LOCO BC, BIABC, and many more.
Most mornings you can catch her filling up her mug at The Laughing Bean Coffee Co. And some days you can find her enjoying an avocado benny from Roundel Cafe.
Ashley Schultheiss
Marketing Coordinator
Say hi to Ashley!
This ray of sunshine started with us two years ago as an intern through SFU’s Co-op program and now she’s our Marketing Coordinator.
She’s been a great addition to our team and so much fun to work with. In the past you might have seen her slinging breakfast when she worked at Yolks before she came to the BIA family.
During the day, you can often find Ashley sipping from her Laughing Bean mug. But after five, catch her at Jackalope’s for a cheeky pint.
Jeremy Inglett & Adrian Harris
Social Media Team
Meet the dynamic duo: Jeremy and Adrian!
Jeremy & Adrian have been managing the East Village Vancouver BIA social media for 5 years now!
Since they started their blog foodgays, this neighbourhood has been home base allowing them to shop, live and eat everything East Village related.
You’ll probably catch them grocery shopping at Bosa Foods, prop hunting Gourmet Warehouse or taking photos of our amazing vibrant neighbourhood.
