Beyond financial stewardship, Lisa also contributes her insights to the Personnel Committee, where she helps shape the organization's future leadership and policies, and was recently a member of the Selection Committee for KEJC’s new Executive Director.
Finding Fulfillment in Service
What Lisa values most about her involvement with KEJC is its profound impact on Kentucky communities. KEJC’s work aligns closely with ZeroV's mission, and Lisa finds great satisfaction in knowing that her contributions help those most in need, making a tangible difference in their lives.
