Lisa Howard has been a military spouse for 25 years. She served as both an enlisted Soldier and officer within the United States Army Reserve. Lisa earned a Master of Social Work in 1999 from Savannah State University. She has two children: Lucas (21, adopted in 2002 from Baku, Azerbaijan) and Madeline (19, born in Germany). Her family has relocated ten times for Army assignments- twice to Germany.

Lisa has first-hand experience with the struggles associated with raising a special needs child in the military culture. Throughout multiple moves and school transitions, she experienced the difficulties coordinating specialized education plans and supports.
