Lisa Mednick Owen is a recent addition to the Board of Directors of Jewish Women's Archive. Her early enthusiasm for reading (and writing) led her to a career in the field of law-where she practiced for several years in large law firm and corporate settings. She left that area several years ago to pursue her interest in working with community, educational and social justice non-profit organizations, where she currently sits on several Boards and leadership councils. She loves living in hectic, crowded New York City with her husband and a menagerie of two cats and one large dog.
