Before this role, she was Asset Management and Contract Coordinator for a nationwide workers compensation insurance company. Lilli has vast experience in Special Event Management for casinos such as Harrah’s, Boomtown, and Silver Legacy.
A lifelong advocate for the humane treatment of dogs and cats, Lilli transitioned to the non-profit sector as Manager of Volunteers and Events for the SPCA of Northern Nevada and Events Manager for the Nevada Humane Society. She sought to make a difference in the lives of pets and children by instituting a humane education presentation in conjunction with Washoe County Regional Animal Services. The presentation, targeting elementary schools in Reno’s at-risk areas, addressed the plight of dogs who are chained up or who are kept only outside, teaching the children compassion and reinforcing the idea that our pets are family.
Lilli has over 30 years of administrative experience in the Reno area. Born in Chicago, IL, and raised in Reno, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her two adult children, Lindsey and Daryk. She encourages others to make positive changes in their lives through her role as Deaconess and Sunday School Superintendent for her church.
