Doris Poling

Vice President

Doris grew up in Overlea and moved back with her family in 1991. Her home is on a street she played on as a child and her sister lives in the family home just two streets over.

Doris has been active in the community association since 2008 serving in various positions.

She is most proud of the Butterfly Mural and the Flower Pots program, both on Belair Road that she produced, starting a COP program, reenergizing membership, creating the Annual Tree Lighting event, and starting community pot luck dinners.

Doris was a La Leche League Leader and Board Certified Lactation Consultant working in the community for more than 23 years. She managed the volunteer program at Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen and Employment Center for 10 years and recently retired from Baltimore County, working for an elected official as a Senior Legislative Aide after 10 years of service.

Doris is passionate about the Overlea Community and holds dear to her heart, the mission of the association-creating neighborhood awareness, community building and working to preserve Overlea’s charm. Promoting and cultivating this thriving, growing and diverse neighborhood so others will come to live and call Overlea home.

Jason Loveless

Treasurer

I grew up in Baltimore, so obviously I am obnoxiously fanatical about our City (Ravens, Orioles, crabs, MD flag design, etc.). As stated in my wife's bio above, we moved to Overlea in 2015 and I have slowly fallen in love with this specific neighbhorhood. Weather pending, you can often find me and the kids walking up and down the streets of Overlea just enjoying the exercise and the freezy pops I bribe them with to make the walk more enjoyable for them (and me because the less they complain, the more I enjoy it!). We typically pick up a few other parents and kids along the way as we start to form some sort of minor parade. I mention this because I truly do love that this place is a neighborhood in every sense of the word. We not only talk with the people who live around us, but we enjoy them and have actual relatioships with them that extend beyond a wave and head nod. Anywho, probably too much for a brief bio, and I am not sure it tells you much about myself, but there it is. If you happen to be in our neighborhood, stop on by – our door is always open during the day.

Debi Brocht

Membership Coordinator

Debi and her husband Tom moved to Overlea in 1988. They love the old houses and the diversity of the neighborhood.
