Having served just over 4 years on the Board of Directors, Liza stepped  down in order to be available to fulfill the new position of Part Time Executive Director for NPRD. 

Liza has a background in engineering, but came to the area with skiing in mind. Norwood is ideally located between mountains and desert, and a fine community to have raised her [now university student] daughter in. She's been called the Little Red Hen of the ice rink in Norwood, and she's a persistent advocate for community theater and art. The NPRD Campus buildings, especiallly the Livery, hold many fond memories, and present opportunities for many more. It's a very non-traditional "Parks & Rec" district worthy of celebrating and growing. 

In the past, Liza has served on the Wright Stuff Foundation (Prime Time Early Learning) board, the NPS DAAC, and co-led Girl Scouts. She was a board member for Arts, Community, and Education of Norwood (A.C.E.), now known as Wide Sky Arts Collective, for 4 years prior to it becoming a part of NPRD. And she has been a member of the Norwood Community Garden since 2018.
