Pittsburgh, PA – The Ruffed Grouse Society & American Woodcock Society announced that Lisa Rossi has been promoted to the national Director of Chapter Relations and Fundraising Events, a new position both for Rossi and the organization. This important position will oversee the day-to-day operations of RGS & AWS chapter engagement programs and will advise staff and volunteers on best practices for fundraising.

“Lisa is rock solid, there’s just no better way to say it. She earns the trust and respect of everyone she works with from chapter leaders to staff colleagues. Lisa’s contributions to our mission have made, and will continue to make a real impact. It’s an honor to work with Lisa and we’re so glad she stepped up to this new role,” said Ben Jones, RGS & AWS President and CEO.

Rossi is based in Pennsylvania and brings more than 30 years of experience to the position, including extensive events organizing, volunteer engagement, nonprofit fundraising and community building. Over the course of Rossi’s career at RGS & AWS, she has helped chapters and members raise more than $4 million.

In her new position, Rossi will supervise six regional engagement coordinators and advise RGS & AWS on fundraising and event operations.

As a result of Rossi’s promotion, RGS & AWS will be hiring a Mid-Atlantic regional engagement coordinator in Pennsylvania. The new coordinator position will report to Rossi and will serve chapters and members in five states, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and northern Virginia.
