She is almost always sporting a CIC t-shirt, proud to represent her workplace in the community. Lisa radiates positivity, and her co-workers have described her as outgoing, determined, indomitable, a go-getter, independent, and inspiring. Her work ethic in the frame production department is something to behold. Lisa has been a part of CIC for over 22 years. She embodies the company’s mission of looking beyond a disability when measuring someone’s potential in the workforce.
