Since the CAC’s move to Mary Lee’s House, Lisa has taken on a role which has linked her more and more with multi-disciplinary team members using the CAC services. She has had in-sight to the needs of team members and consistently goes the extra mile to make sure those needs are met. Lisa gathers and disseminates information on behalf of the team and has brought new innovative reporting formats to the group. Based on her reports, team members can easily track gaps in services and gather information to report at case review meetings. Lisa sees things through the eyes of an organizer and consistently puts systems in place for others to emulate. Lisa serves as an organizational role model and is an inspiration to the group performing consistently with a positive attitude.

The CJC purchased school supplies with $700.00 worth of Target gift cards sponsored by Verizon and the National Children’s Alliance.
