Author: Lisa Radov

Lisa Radov has been passionate about helping animals since she was eight years old when she embarked on her first fundraising campaign to help stop the slaughter of baby harp seals in Canada. Lisa has a B.A. in International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA in Marketing and Advertising from the Tulane University A.B. Freeman School of Business. She was the Owner and Director of Marketing at Gebco Insurance Associates, Inc. from 1986- 2016 and is a Certified Yoga Instructor. Currently, Lisa serves on the Mayor’s Anti - Animal Abuse Commission. She is committed to stopping all forms of abuse as there is a documented link “The Link” between animal abuse, child abuse, elder abuse, and domestic abuse. Lisa volunteers as a Cat Cuddler at the MDSPCA as well as for Pets on Wheels. She is a board member of Civic Works and Common Cause. A lover of all animals, Lisa has rescued two dogs, four pet lab rats, six cats, two hamsters, and two guinea pigs. A mother of four, Lisa has chaired fundraising campaigns and been an active board member of the Parents' Associations at her children's schools. She became politically active in animal issues when her youngest child started volunteering at the shelter where they adopted their two cats. Lisa is dedicated to passing laws that will make Maryland a leader in the humane treatment of all animals - companion, farm, and wildlife.
