Lisa brings a deep grounding and thoughtfulness to her work and is a skilled facilitator, supporting groups through discomfort and conflict to find new ways of working and being together. Last spring, Lisa helped plan for and respond to white nationalist activity at the annual Solidarity Fair, even demanding they leave the park where they were attempting to disrupt the event and escorting them out of the area. A brilliant and strategic organizer, Lisa brings a depth of experience to ROP and serves as Vice-Chair of the board.
