TK: What inspires you?
LISA: My desire to continue to learn and grow and do my part to help others.
TK: What advice do you have for others?
LISA: Never stop learning and never give up!
TK: What is the greatest lesson you have learned on your journey?
LISA: Not to pass up any opportunities that present themselves so you’ll have no regrets later.
The YWCA is on a mission to empower women at all stages in their careers. Diversity in leadership is particularly vital to our vibrant business community in the Greater Topeka Area.
The YWCA is celebrating 31 years of recognizing Women of Excellence in our community with the theme “Dare to be Powerful.” We dare to be powerful, despite whatever obstacles may present themselves along the way.
“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”
- Audre Lorde
