Lisa has been a Tooele City employee since December 1999.
- She Started out in Building & Zoning as a Building Clerk.
- After two years she took a test to become a Permit Technician.
- After 5 1/2 years, she applied for the position of Deputy Recorder over Business Licensing.
Besides doing business licensing she also worked with the Tooele City Council putting agendas for the City Council meeting together along with the packets and PowerPoints for the meetings.
She, also, continued to attend Permit Tech Training on her own, paying for the training and taking personal leave to continue to earn CEUs to retain her certification as a Permit Tech.
In 2008, She ran for Vice-President of the UBLA (APPROX) and was voted in. This is a 6-year commitment:
- UBLA President - 2 years.
- Vice President 2 years and
- Past President additional 2 years.
She was in that leadership position through 2014.
- In December 2018 moved to the Community Development Department which included the Building & Zoning Department; as a Business License Specialist with this move, the Permit Tech Certification was no longer necessary.
- Fall of 2021 She opted to lead the UBLA, again, as the President.
- Lisa grew up in California, but came to Utah in the early 90s and has only returned to visit her best friends from high school, to whom she is still incredibly close to. She and her husband have three sons and eight grandchildren. Four of whom live across town and are fortunate enough to get to spend time with them attending their Jr. Jazz, Flag Football, Soccer, T-Ball, and gymnastics events. She is so proud of all of them; they are her world!!!
Lisa is very confident that through the UBLA’s current leadership that many of the new licensing specialists will learn from our conferences.
