Bio
Pat Gagnon
Lora is an exceptional leader. I am an alumni of Leadership Pioneer Valley when she was Executive Director and then worked with her volunteering for marketing and communication efforts at LPV. Lora is a creative and inspiring leader. She is a great listener and thrives on diversity and different perspectives. She knows this creates amazing outcomes in the work. I’m blessed to have learned from her and worked with her.
Monika Ketri
Lora is a detail-oriented manager who never loses sight of the mission and vision of the program. She was always very responsive to my needs and provided excellent and consistent guidance for my tasks. Lora is a wonderful communicator and makes others feel listened to and included. I was lucky to have her as my director and would be happy to have the chance to work with her in the future.
