Supervisor Lisa Schuette to speak at Democratic luncheon
Lisa Schuette, who represents Ward 4 on the Carson City Board of Supervisors, will be the featured speaker at Monday's Democratic luncheon. A Carson City native, Lisa is a retired health teacher and probation officer who is best known as founding chair of the Carson Animal Services Initiative (CASI), which raised the funds needed to build and equip the city's state-of-the-art animal shelter.
As if being a Supervisor wasn't time-consuming enough, each member of the board also serves ex officio on related governing bodies. For Lisa that involves service on the Audit Committee, the Regional Transportation Commission, the Carson Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Water Sub-Conservancy and the Redevelopment Authority Citizens Committee.
Before becoming a member of the board consumed all of her free time, Lisa had served as Outreach Manager for the Humane Network's Maddie's Nevada Campaign, which fostered the creation of safety nets for dogs and cats in rural communities. She also served on the board of Smile for a Lifetime, a non-profit that helps students in need get braces, as well as The Ron Wood Family Resource Center, which helps families in need find solutions to everyday problems.
In 2013 Lisa was honored as Educator of the Year for the Carson City School District, and in 2018 she was named as one of Sierra Nevada’s Top-20 Powerful Women by Northern Nevada Business Weekly. She and her husband Steve share their home with Hank, a destructive but lovable 105 lb. lab mix who believes the world is his playground.
Sponsored by the Democratic Men's Committee, this event is scheduled for 1:00 PM on Monday, April 4th, and can be attended either in person at Black Bear Diner, inside Max Casino, or online via Zoom. Lisa will take the floor after all the lunch orders have been taken, around 1:30. Those wishing to be on distribution for luncheon Zoom links should email Rich Dunn, Men's Committee Events Coordinator, at richdunn@aol.com.
