Lisa Abel loves Broward County, and over the past 20 years, she has enjoyed giving back to her community in many ways. As a volunteer at her daughter's schools, she was able to raise funds for projects and events that provided learning and fun for the students. 'I found great satisfaction in knowing that my hard work made these great experiences possible for every student.' One of Lisa's proudest moments was being nominated for Broward County Schools Volunteer of the Year when her daughter, Emily, was in elementary school. 'It was an absolute honor to be recognized, and I feel that I gained so much personally. I got back more than I gave. The children are amazing."
Her career as an Agent with New York Life is in keeping with her caring nature. 'I believe in educating people about insurance and planning for the future so that they can make informed decisions tailored to their individual goals.' She says that it is a great feeling to know that a family is protected, that a person is on track for their retirement, or has planned for long-term care. 'I love to deliver peace of mind to my clients when I deliver their policy.'
