Women that WOW
February's Winner is Lisa Rasin of S.E.A.S.P.A.R.
Lisa Rasin joined the full-time staff at SEASPAR on January
5th 2009 as the Fund Development Coordinator. Lisa’s
responsibilities include raising funds to continue and expand services to meet
the growing needs of the communities SEASPAR serves. Lisa has strong ties to
the local community, including six years on the board of directors for the
Downers Grove Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Indian Boundary
YMCA. Lisa was also a member of the Downers Grove Kiwanis Club, which sponsors
two of SEASPAR’s largest special events. Lisa has had the privilege of working
with individuals with disabilities as a volunteer at SEASPAR for many years
through the Kiwanis Club in Downers Grove. Her nephew, Jack, also participates
in a variety of programs at SEASPAR, and Lisa feels this is her way of giving
back to this wonderful organization. She truly understands the challenges and
importance of providing quality programs to our families in our communities.
