S WINNER OF THE
PPAI 2015 Woman Of
Achievement award, Sherri
C. Lennarson, MAS, exem-
plifies a life well lived and a
leader much loved. A for-
mer member of the PPAI
Board of Directors (2006-
2011) and PPAI Board
Chair (2009-2010) as well
as a winner of PPAI’s 2013
Distinguished Service
Award, Lennarson has
spent much of her 30 years
in the industry giving back
through volunteer service
and mentoring others.
“I’ve always thought if
you’re not giving back,
you’re living in a vacuum
and life is not very fulfill-
ing,” Lennarson says. “You
get back so much more
when you volunteer. I think
all of us change, we grow,
we leave a footprint, and
we’re also impacted by
other people’s footprints.
Most importantly, we help
somebody along the way.”
