Meet Our Board.
SCIT.
STAY.
PLAY.
Elizabeth Wiza
It is entirely fitting that Liz is our new President. She has been an active member of the Scituate community for 14 years. Beginning with Jenkins Elementary PTO, she volunteered in countless capacities, including chairing annual events and running two fundraising programs throughout each school year. She continues to run these two programs for both schools today. Liz was a parent mentor and fundraising committee member with Scituate STEAM Collaborative and has been a supporter of Scituate Education Foundation since its inception. Liz has been a supporter of Scituate Animal Shelter since she adopted her first rescue, Buddy, a special needs senior dog. She has also been involved with the Plymouth Area Coalition for the Homeless for 16 years. Liz lives in Scituate with her son, Nick, and their rescue dog, Emmie.
Lisa Huffman
Lisa is the former President and Chair of Fundraising. She has been a part of FOSDP since the beginning. Lisa started out as co-Secretary, took on the role of Chair of Fundraising, and was elected President in December of 2018. Although she has stepped back from the role of President, she still manages our website, Social Media, and creates our newsletter. She lives in Hingham with her 4 kids...2 human, 2 canine!
Susan (Grondine) Dauwer
Susan and her husband Arthur have lived in Scituate since 2007. She was inspired by her 7-year old black lab, Moses, to join the Board. She was nominated to the position of Vice-President and assists with fundraising, public outreach and contract support. Susan is an attorney whose practice focuses on commercial litigation and arbitration.
Alison Duhamel
Alison is our Secretary (since Oct. 2021). She was born just outside the South Shore area and moved to Scituate in 2015. Alison is well-suited to take on the role of Secretary, as she has worked in the Biotech/Pharma industry for 25 years and picked up some valuable administrative and organizational skills along the way. Alison graduated from UNH with a degree in Biology and got her Masters in Organizational Psychology at William James College. She became interested in the dog park when she welcomed her very first dog, Piper, into the family and began bringing Piper to the park almost daily.
Ashley Meehan
Ashley is our Treasurer. She was born and raised on Cape Cod and graduated from Lasell University with a Bachelors in Accounting and Finance. She then graduated from Northeastern University with a Master's in Accounting. Ashley is well-suited to take on the role of Treasurer as she is a certified public accountant in MA and a senior audit associate at CohnReznick LLP in Braintree. Her main clientele are not-for-profit organizations and low-income housing organizations.
