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 5^th 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.
