Lisa has held several board positions.  Some of that experience includes serving as President of the Emerald Park Neighborhood Homeowner’s Association in Springfield, Missouri where she organized, and worked with, neighbors in successfully arguing before City Council to prevent a major retail complex from being constructed near neighborhoods and schools which would have resulted in an unsafe environment.  Lisa served on the Board of Directors for the Junior League of Springfield, Missouri, and was Chair of Teen Court.  Teen Court is a program that works with first-time teen offenders who are prosecuted, defended, and tried by a jury of their peers with a sitting judge presiding.
