Lisa’s nominator writes that “Ms. Lisa Martin is so very deserving of this award.” She has diligently served the Norco College community in a variety of roles where she gives her whole heart to the work she leads. Lisa is passionate about serving students and creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. For the last three years, she has helped to lead the annual AANHPI Heritage Month activities.
