Lisa Hart, Director of Development

All of you who have been a part of The Life Raft Group for the past two years have had the pleasure of getting to know Christine Schaumburg, our Development Director. Christine came to us from her position as the mayor of Clinton, New Jersey. Christine recently left us for a new opportunity as the Executive Director of a shelter that provides women who are victims of domestic abuse support. We wish her the best of luck as she moves forward to do such important work.

Lisa comes to us with a strong background in fundraising and nonprofit management. Prior to coming to us, Lisa was a consultant for a variety of nonprofits, helping them identify ways to raise funds, event planning, grant writing, networking and strategic planning. She was the executive director for a children’s science museum and the director of advancement at Valparaiso University, School of Law. Lisa and her husband, an executive with Bayer Pharmaceuticals, moved to the area last summer from Indiana. Lisa is a Chicago native.
