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.

I'm 64 years old. I have lived in 6 different states. I moved to Idaho in 1995, best move I ever made. I am married to Carla. I have 3 daughters, all grown with families of their own. I also have 2 step sons, both on their own. All live locally. I also have 6 grand daughters and 2 grandsons. I love being outdoors. In the winter, I love to ski. In the warm months, I love to work in the yard and the garden or escape to the mountains to cool off in a river or lake. I worked in sales for Sysco Foodservice, for almost 33 years and then worked for Imperfect Foods for 2 years. Now, I'm at the Meridian Senior Center, which I love. This is a very full filling job. I love helping others, I love their stories. I'm so thankful to be part of this team!
