Potholes, Parks, and Politics (ePub)

Dr. Lisa Shaffer has had a 47-year career thinking and acting globally and locally. She started her career at NASA and NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) focused on international environmental programs, and five years in marketing and strategic planning at an aerospace company. In 1998, Shaffer joined Scripps Institution of Oceanography, as Director of International Relations and Policy Programs, before becoming the executive director of the UC San Diego Sustainability Solutions Institute. She taught ethics, environmental strategy, and corporate social responsibility at UCSD. Lisa was elected to the Encinitas City Council on an ethics platform and served from 2012-2016. In 2020, Dr. Shaffer published a book, Potholes, Parks, and Politics: a guide to getting things done locally (without having to run for office yourself).

Lisa has held positions on many non-profit boards and volunteers with a number of local organizations. She earned her B.A. in political science from the University of Michigan, her Ph.D. in public policy from the George Washington University, and an MBA from UCSD. Currently, having failed at retirement, she teaches "Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility" on a part-time basis at UCSD and serves as the coordinator of the Encinitas Environmental Education Collaborative, a coalition of seven local non-profit/governmental organizations.

Lisa and her husband, Steve Bartram, have four adult daughters, two grand horses, four grand dogs, and at least one grand cat, but alas, no grandchildren.
