Lisa M. Welch joined the Board of the Robert C. Byrd Center for Congressional History and Education at Shepherd University in April 2017 and has served with great distinction and vision for five years. Long before her service on the Board she was a catalyst for promoting the work and mission of the Center as an active volunteer and as the founding organizer of the Friends of the Byrd Center, a group that is vital to the success of the Center through volunteerism and monetary support.
As a member of the Board, she has been a leader in improvements in the Center’s accounting practices and reporting. She has been instrumental in recruiting new Board members, and, most significantly, in 2021-22, she led the Board in a dynamic year-long Strategic Planning process that will be vitally important in charting the future of the Center. Lisa had been a great friend, colleague, and dedicated leader, who always had the highest interest in the Center’s success in all her work. While this resolution is written in the past tense, the Board does not believe that Lisa’s continued interest in the work of the Center is past. We extend an open invitation that should she decide to return to the Board she would be heartily welcomed back. The Board thanks Lisa for her distinguished service and many contributions with great respect and affection. |
