Lisa lives in Guys Mills with her husband, Michael, and their youngest daughter, Hope. They also have two grown children and two (soon to be four) grandchildren. Lisa currently serves as the Chair of the Northwestern REC Board of Directors and has served as the Northwestern REC representative to the Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association since 2024.  

Lisa serves as the Practice Manager for the Mercy House of Meadville, Inc., a state licensed substance abuse and mental health treatment facility. She is an active member of New Beginnings Church of God where she enjoys serving and contributing to the church community.

A past Rural Electric Youth Tour participant, she graduated from Maplewood High School in 1990 and attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. After obtaining a degree in Specialized Business, she made the decision to return to her rural hometown to raise her family, emphasizing her connection to her rural roots.

Lisa has served as the board secretary/treasurer for the Guys Mills Mutual Water Association, demonstrating her involvement in local community organizations. She also opened a small gift shop the Grist Mill of Guys Mills with her mother, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit.

Spending quality time with her family and pets is an important aspect of Lisa's life. She has also taken on new endeavors that reflect her rural background, such as gardening, canning, raising chickens, and cherishing the role of being a grandmother (or "Grammy," as her grandchildren affectionally call her). 

Lisa's father, Larry Proper, served as a Northwestern REC director for 34 years. Watching him diligently work for his district and co-op members left a lasting impression on her. Her experience with her father's dedication to the co-op community has influenced her own commitment as a current director, enabling her to interact and contribute to the co-op community positively.
