Liza McFadden


Liza McFadden McFadden is president of the Volunteer USA Foundation – a foundation aimed at strengthening families through volunteerism and community service. Innovative programs include the award winning Teen Trendsetters where teens across the South mentor struggling second and third-grade youth in the environment and reading. In October 2010 Volunteer USA was awarded the Youth Thrive Award by GreatNonprofits for making a positive difference for youth.

In an August Tallahassee Democrat news article concerning obstacles in funding faced by state parks, Liza was quoted as believing in state parks for — the legacy we are going to leave our children.” As a noted fundraiser, and former manager of a public relations firm, Liza is committed to using her skills to bring attention and support to our beautiful state parks.
