Bonnie Reagan, MD Board President and co-founder

Retired family physician, social justice and health advocate

Board chair of El Sistema USA national board of directors since 2016

Born in Philadelphia, Bonnie has enjoyed a varied career since moving to Portland in 1968. After working as a high school teacher and nurse practitioner, she went to medical school while raising her children and practiced as a family doctor for 22 years. She was honored as the Oregon Family Physician of the Year in 2010. During her years as a full-time physician, she also worked in the field of ethics and in end-of-life care. She sang in the Choral Arts Ensemble with Roger Doyle for 20 years. Bonnie has been fortunate enough to travel internationally: volunteering in Thailand and Ukraine, trekking in Nepal and Patagonia, and canoeing in the Canadian Arctic, where she was chased by a grizzly bear.

Cynthia Macleod, Board Secretary

Assistant Director of Equity, Portland Public Schools

Born in Portland, Cynthia grew up in Texas and returned to Oregon with her family when she was sixteen. She graduated from Grant High School, Eastern Oregon University and Portland State University. A classroom teacher and school principal, she was honored as an outstanding educator in 1996 with the Milken Educator Award. Cynthia retired from a long teaching and administrative career in 2011. She and her brother enjoyed singing in school choirs and listening to the New York Philharmonic directed by Leonard Bernstein on television countless Sunday afternoons. Sundays are still filled with music when Cynthia plays English handbells at her Methodist church.

Lorelei Juntunen

Vice President of Operations, ECONorthwest

A 16 year veteran of the public policy consulting firm ECONorthwest, Lorelei has dedicated her career to supporting data-informed decision-making for local government policy choices. Her consulting has focused specifically on housing affordability and public-sector fiscal issues. She also serves as the Vice President of Operations, and oversees implementation of the firm’s strategic plan and its administrative functions. Lorelei serves as a Trustee for Oregon’s chapter of The Nature Conservancy; she chairs the finance committee. She believes music should be a participatory sport for musicians of all skill levels; as such, she adds mediocre keys and passable vocals to an otherwise excellent North Portland neighborhood band. She is a resident of St. Johns and the parent of two BRAVO students, and brings that perspective to her work on the Board.
