Lisa Hansen began her journey in the senior services field in 2012 and quickly discovered a deep passion and respect for older adults. In February 2017, she joined the Meridian Senior Center as the Event Venue Coordinator, bringing energy, creativity, and a willingness to wear many hats—including roles as a bus driver, marketing coordinator, and event planner. Her hands-on experience and commitment to the mission made her a vital part of the Center’s growth and culture.

​

In August 2021, Lisa was named Executive Director, stepping into the role with a bold vision: to transform the Meridian Senior Center into a vibrant, active hub where seniors could connect, thrive, and truly Live Younger. Her leadership has been defined by innovation, compassion, and a tireless dedication to building a place where seniors feel valued, supported, and empowered.

​

Lisa extends heartfelt gratitude to the Board of Directors, her incredible staff, and the Center’s members for their ongoing support and belief in the mission. Together, they continue to create a welcoming, dynamic community that celebrates life at every age.
