Executive Director [email protected]
Once upon a time in 2006, over a late-night pizza, Dr. Joan Gill asked Lori to consider a part-time job working with a group of “very fun and friendly hematologists.” More than 15 years later, Lori continues to enjoy both friendship and fun as Executive Director of HTRS. Lori was once a Layton Art Scholar at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she earned degrees in fine art and English literature. Her 30-plus years in the nonprofit sector include a decade at the Milwaukee Public Museum, writing grants, designing exhibits, and attempting to stay sunburn and snake-bite free at dig sites in Montana and collecting expeditions in Costa Rica.
When she’s not at HTRS, Lori loves to hunt for antiques, devour books, and hang out with her family, friends, and her rescue pup, Wilson. She dreams of visiting Hobbiton in New Zealand, and wishes she could have spent a day with Abraham Lincoln. She continues to be inspired by the talent and dedication of the fun and friendly physicians, investigators, and allied health professionals who make HTRS such a wonderful organization.
Director, Award Programs & Career Development [email protected]
Jennifer is a writer, photographer, and journalism graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she first discovered her passion for writing feature articles that focus on fascinating people, the cultural arts, and travel. After 10 years living in Lincoln Park in Chicago as a corporate communications professional, she headed west with her husband to explore the skiing, hiking, biking, and local culture in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. While winter was the impetus for the move, Telluride summer became the main attraction where weekend festivals feature the Joffrey Ballet, international films, bluegrass bands, hot air balloons, uber-athletes, endless hiking opportunities, and more dogs than you can imagine. It was like living in a painting.
After a move back to Cedarburg, WI for family and business opportunities, Jennifer is grateful to have chaperoned a high-school choir trip to Washington, D.C., where her daughter was singing with Lori's at the Kennedy Center and her career transition to HTRS began. On evenings and weekends, she can be found with her three daughters in a close community of friends, looking forward to the next travel adventure in search of mountains and sunshine.
