Beyond her busy career as an attorney, Lisa finds plenty of time to give back to the Jewish community and beyond.
She donates her time with pro bono work helping new businesses navigate intellectual property issues and volunteering at Legal Aid Chicago clinics and Lawyers for the Creative Arts. Recently, she has helped with Ukraine asylum work.
Lisa has been active in the Jewish community her whole life, starting with her education at Solomon Schechter Day School and Rochelle Zell Jewish High School. She remained active in Jewish life in college and law school and later became active with JUF's Young Leadership Division (YLD). Over the last three years, Lisa has served on the board and been especially involved with LEADS, a program designed to help newcomers find their place in the community.
Stay tuned for a great year ahead with YLD - Lisa is the incoming board president!
