LEIGH BOEHMER, PharmD, BCOP
Chief Medical Officer,
Association of Community Cancer Centers​​
I had the pleasure of working with Lisa on one of ACCC’s most successful campaigns ever to highlight precision medicine resources for the multidisciplinary cancer care team. Lisa led us through the process of elucidating our brand, determining a unique ‘voice’ for said resources, and identifying various internal and external dissemination channels, all while coordinating the input of a diverse internal team of senior leaders, program managers, and business development colleagues. I give my highest recommendation of Lisa, her skills, and her ability to deliver top quality products and comprehensive plans.

I have been collaborating with Lisa on branding and marketing materials for over seven years. With the growth of ACCC over the years, she’s had to lead her team to successfully market all the resources ACCC has to offer and much more. Lisa wears many hats and has a lot to juggle but she always finds time to be strategic and innovative. As a creative director, I appreciate the clients that “get it” and make the creative process go smoothly and have fun doing it.

Lisa is one of the most talented marketing professionals I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. She is creative, diligent, detailed, passionate, and inspirational. In her close to eight years at CMI, she took the marketing to new levels – through her branding expertise, social media savvy, storytelling ability, and use of data analysis to inform strategies. She is a delight to work with and highly respected by her peers and her team. She is an extremely competent leader who has mentored many of her direct reports to enhance their skills and grow in their careers because of her guidance. I’m proud to say that I hired Lisa as a marketing manager more than eight years ago. It was gratifying to witness her growth as she became a treasured peer.

Senior Marketing Manager,

Lisa is a gifted marketer, and I am so fortunate to not only have gained a great boss and mentor but a friend, too. I have been lucky enough to learn a great deal from her. She is whip-smart, an effective and compassionate leader, and ensures that her team has all of the resources to be successful. Under her leadership, I was not only able to rise up to my true potential, but she taught me some invaluable life lessons to combat my worst critic (myself). Lisa's unwavering support and direction allowed me to grow in my role, become a more confident marketer, and elevate the way that I do my work. She is an exceptional teacher.

Chief Development Officer,

Lisa is the quintessential marketing professional and leader. Lisa understands how to lead a team through change and challenging work demands while rolling up her sleeves and diving in with her team to not only get the work done, but to dazzle the internal and external customers with her marketing brilliance. As the Chief Development Officer, I had the opportunity to see the rare skill that Lisa possesses which is to align marketing strategy with funder needs. Lisa was always proactive in support of the Development Team, suggesting marketing tactics to support the projects at the proposal stage along with suggesting creative ways to reach the intended audience. Most important, Lisa is a wonderful person with a big heart that cares about the work, the mission and the team. She made me a better leader and I am thankful that managing Lisa was part of my career.

KRISTINE KEERS
Digital Content Strategist,
Association of Community Cancer Centers​​
I had the pleasure of working on multiple high-visibility projects with Lisa, including our association’s social media, newsletters, and podcast. Lisa was highly adept at navigating the content creation of these deliverables and was quick to spot gaps that needed to be filled to ensure we met internal goals and delivered the best possible resources to our community. Lisa’s ability to manage multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team.
Lisa has an advanced understanding of the ins-and-outs of marketing, including preparing results-driven metrics, planning a content calendar, and running effective paid social media. I am so lucky to have had a boss who truly understood the nuances of my role and was able to provide insightful guidance while demonstrating a clear interest in helping me grow professionally.

I had the privilege of working with Lisa Townsend through Stanford University School of Medicine's collaboration with the Sister to Sister Foundation in developing of an infographic on Women's Lifetime Risk of Cardiovascular Disease After Pregnancy Complications. Lisa is a consummate professional, with excellent communication skills and a wealth of knowledge about health literacy and cardiovascular disease. I learned a lot from my interactions with Lisa and highly recommend her as a professional health communicator.
CASSANDRA CHISHOLM, CAPM
Marketing Manager,
Association of Community Cancer Centers​​
I had worked with Lisa for a brief amount of time, but it was more than enough to make it abundantly clear that she has the leadership and strategic acumen of someone who can lead unabashedly. I have an immense respect for her as not only a fantastic boss, but as a supportive and kind colleague. You can't teach the qualities that she innately possesses: incredible presence, know-how and intuition; as one grows in their career they should aim (and be lucky) to be even half as extraordinary.
Lisa is the very definition of "detail-oriented" while not sacrificing any quality of the work behind her. More importantly, however, is her ability to stand up for the people she manages and make sure they're being treated right.
Lisa knows how to bring difficult topics to life using traditional and new communications tactics. She's an innovative communicator with the confidence to break new ground where the usual won't get the job done. We admire her management style, her honesty, and her ability to make projects happen. Our firm worked for her for 3+ years and we appreciated every minute of that time collaborating and creating together! Lisa is an outstanding professional who is focused on results.
