| Info | Lisa Green-Douglass of North Liberty was elected to the Board of Supervisors in a Special Election Jan. 19, 2016, to complete a term vacated by former Supervisor Terrence Neuzil. She was re-elected to a full four-year term in November 2016.
Lisa grew up in Carson, California and in 1980 moved to Johnson County. She and her husband, Tom, live surrounded by farmland in rural Johnson County, where they raised their five children. She has a Ph.D. in Spanish from the University of Iowa and taught there for 11 years. While finishing her Ph.D., Lisa spent two years teaching at Clear Creek High School. Later she was a professor at Cornell College in Mount Vernon for nine years.
Just prior to being elected to the Board, Lisa worked as a Spanish-language trainer, providing job-specific language training to law enforcement officers; jailers and correctional officers; conservation officers; nurses; teachers; and paramedics. She has also worked with local law enforcement, including the Johnson County Sheriff's Office and Jail, to translate some of their documents into Spanish. She occasionally provides interpreting services in the community.
Lisa is passionate about improving the availability and quality of mental health care. She continues to advocate for a more sustainable and equitable funding mechanism for providing such care. She has been an involved member of several committees working toward the County's first-ever Access Center, a facility for people in mental health crisis.
