Board

President: Lisa Craig-Hensley

A native Lodian currently serving her first term on the Lodi City Council, Lisa's professional background is in planning and historic preservation.  She and her husband Scott (and their Corgi Bandit!) live in a recently restored Victorian home in Lodi's eastside and enjoy the best of what Lodi has to offer patronizing Lodi area wineries, downtown businesses, and locally-owned restaurants.  When her sons Harry and Lucas come to visit from their home in Annapolis, MD, you can find them all picnicking at Lodi Lake or Mickie's Grove Park.  Lisa is a proud Lodi-Tokay Rotarian, currently serving as Treasurer and Past President. Lisa also serves District 4 on the San Joaquin Republican Central Committee.
