2018 Elections: Slate of Nominees Announced
The representatives of the Nominating Committee, as required and executed according to Article II Section 3 of the TMCC By-Laws, have created a slate of candidates we recommend to the dues paying and voting members of the Timbergrove Manor Civic Club.
As a committee, we are recommending the election of each of the following people based on the efficiency, effectiveness, and proven record of each individual. Each nominee has proven a desire to improve the neighborhood, from increased neighborhood activities, representation within local government, and broader awareness and contribution of the Timbergrove Manor Civic Club. For these reasons we are recommending the reelection of the current officers and the election of three new directors.

Leslie Hillendahl (Vice President)
I am currently a block captain for the 6200-6300 block of Wynnwood Lane, chairperson for the Beautification Committee along with my husband Brian Hillendahl and 2017 Vice President of the TMCC. I have been very involved with our neighborhood and the TMCC since we moved here in 2003. Brian and I, along with our dogs, have lived in Timbergrove for more than fourteen years this November. Our son Graham is two and a half and loves playing with his neighborhood buddies. However, Timbergrove is not really a “new” home for me as I was born here over forty years ago on Woodbrook. I attended Texas A&M University where I received my Masters of Science degree in accounting. I obtained my J.D. in 2002 from South Texas College of Law. After almost 15 years as a litigation attorney, I recently joined a hedge fund as a senior legal analyst/counsel. In addition to my son, one of my other passions is animal rescue and I serve as President of a local all breed, non-profit animal rescue organization, Scouts Honor Rescue.

Micah Heilbrun (Director)
Since 2015, I have lived in Timbergrove with my wife, Amy, and twin 3-year old boys. This past July, we added our third son to our household on Queenswood Lane. As a family, we have a deep commitment to our community. We enjoy having retirees, single professionals, young families and everyone in between as part of our extended Timbergrove neighborhood. During Hurricane Harvey, we were fortunate to be able to assist neighbors in need and remain committed to living in Timbergrove Section 5. My wife and I are both native Houstonians. After a family move in 1988, I attended high school in Detroit, Michigan, played college football and lacrosse in Ohio and received my law degree at night while working for law firms in Detroit. Following graduation, I moved to Austin in 2002 and returned to Houston in 2004 when Amy reminded me that “Houston is home.” I work as in-house counsel for Exxon Mobil Corporation and my wife is an oil and gas title attorney for a small firm in the Galleria. In our spare time, our family enjoys outdoor recreation, camping, hunting and sporting events. We cheer for the Astros, Texans, Michigan football, Denison lacrosse and the Eagles (U.S. National Rugby team).
