No
Lisa Brandkamp is from Webster, NY, outside of Rochester. She moved to Charlotte in 2007 in pursuit of warmer weather, and settled down in Wilmington in 2016. She has degrees in Economics, Accounting, and Finance from University of Michigan and The Wharton School. Lisa is excited for the chance to do all the “boring” things necessary for an organization to function, allowing the team to focus their efforts on education, advocacy, and action. When not working, she can usually be found on an area tennis court, playing pickleball, out on the water, or off skiing somewhere when the weather gets cold.
