Sally Gomez
Lisa is a strong member of the management team at Fresno County Public Library. She is the most experienced manager, and has a solid understanding of the needs of our organization as well as the needs of the communities we serve. Among the qualities which make her a good leader, Lisa has both a passion for library service and a desire to seek out solutions. She is a problem solver who takes action. She is not afraid to tackle difficult issues and is straightforward and honest in her approach. As the Public Services Manager, Lisa has made a positive impact on our library staff through her responsiveness and engagement. Lisa is fair and open with staff; and she is consistent in her handling of personnel issues. I admire her insight and ability to provide new perspectives on various issues being considered by the management team, and I would not hesitate to highly recommend her for a library leadership opportunity.
