Board of Directors
Cory Pomeroy - President
Hi! I am Cory Pomeroy. My wife Lisa and I have lived on Westover Road in Pemberton Heights since 2011. I am from Nederland, and she is from Denton; we met in Austin. We had each lived in different neighborhoods in central Austin and were drawn to the energetic and family-oriented nature of Pemberton Heights. Lisa and I have a daughter and a son who love to roam its streets, trails, and parks. I am honored to serve on the board of the Pemberton Heights Neighborhood Association, which serves as a platform for residents of the neighborhood to be informed and engaged within the community. I graduated from Texas A&M University and the University of Texas School of Law. I am an attorney and lobbyist in the oil and gas industry.
Holly Lanham - Director
Holly J. Lanham is a healthcare researcher at UT Health San Antonio. She received her MBA and PhD from the McCombs School of Business. Holly and her husband, Tadd, live on Wooldridge with their two children. As co-chair of the social committee, Holly is excited to help organize the annual picnic and garage sale and plan additional events to bring neighbors together throughout the year.
Mike Stitt - Director
We moved to Pemberton Heights in 2019, and we've been in love with the neighborhood ever since. As an entrepreneur, I bring my experience in marketing, communications, and engagement to the neighborhood board. I'm passionate about fostering a sense of community and making sure our voices are heard.
What I love most about Pemberton Heights is the strong sense of connection among neighbors. There's a genuine warmth here that makes it more than just a place to live. The neighborhood's serene nature, distinct character, and sense of calm right in the heart of Austin are things I cherish. I'm grateful to be part of such a unique community and I'm excited to contribute to its future.
Laurel Kuntz - Traffic and Safety
My husband and I moved to Austin in 2016 from San Francisco, and we have lived in the same home on Harris Boulevard ever since. We now have two kids, one dog, three chickens, and one fish. I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a bachelors in business and psychology and then worked for three years in Washington, D.C. as a business consultant. In 2009, I returned to the student life at Johns Hopkins University and graduated with a bachelors in nursing in 2010. I worked as an RN in an adult intensive care unit (ICU) until the arrival of our daughter in 2016 -- just a few weeks after we moved onto Harris Blvd. I now run my own business, The Austin Nurse, providing in-home injections to clients. For me, the highlights of Pemberton include the trees reaching across the streets, riding bikes to Tiny's, playing at Hartford Park, and our kid(s) attending Casis. Most sincerely, I cherish our neighbors and feel a genuine sense of community with the friendships we've made here.
Dawnelle Doughtie - Director
I’m Dawnelle Doughtie, and my husband Lee and I moved to Wooldridge Drive in 2019. We lived in this neighborhood as newlyweds in the early 80’s for several years, and then moved to Northwest Hills for over thirty years. We moved back to Pemberton and absolutely love the history of the neighborhood. Growing up in a farming and ranching community in West Texas, I appreciate the small-town atmosphere that this neighborhood has to offer. After graduating from Texas State University in 1982, I married my husband, a fourth generation Austinite. Both sets of his grandparents lived down the street from each other in Pemberton and Bryker Woods. After teaching school for five years, I started my family. During this time, the first organization I joined in Austin was the Heritage Society. Serving as a board member, I was able to learn about the wonderful history of Austin. I love historic homes, and I particularly love the canopied tree-covered streets, the walkability, and the wonderful people that reside in this neighborhood. I also enjoy being involved in organizations in Austin that help children, particularly The Settlement Home and Helping Hand Home for Children. Lee and I have spent most of our adult lives raising and enjoying our three kids, and now we are empty nesters. I’m thankful to live in such a great neighborhood and am hoping as a board member to help plan events and fun activities for everyone.
