Lisa Towle hails from the Diocese of North Carolina. She and her husband, Karl, live in Cary, and are members of the Church of the Good Shepherd in nearby Raleigh, the state capital, as well as the location of the diocese’s primary office. In addition to serving as president of the diocesan ECW, Lisa is a member of the diocese’s Botswana Companion Diocese Committee, the Millennium Development Goals Committee, and the Chartered Committee for Global Mission. A journalist and editor, Lisa has also worked in public relations. She and her husband co-own Liskar Communications, which provides writing and editing services as well as website content, database and email consulting. Lisa is a native North Carolinian who’s lived globally thanks to her father’s career with the U.S. Army. She and Karl have been blessed with three terrific daughters and a son-in-law. When she’s not doing church-related work or tending to Liskar business Lisa enjoys family time, genealogy, gardens, reading, the beach, Masterpiece Mystery, the arts, coffee and chocolate. And while she holds her own at “Words with Friends,” she’s less than artful when it comes to the “Draw Something” social media game.
Over the course of 2012-2015 triennium she hopes to help make the National ECW more known to dioceses around the country and begin a serious conversation about the National ECW’s future – its form and function.
