Lisa J. Ford

Administrative Assistant



Lisa J. Ford joined the Helmets to Hardhats team in 2007 as the Administrative Assistant to Darrell Roberts, Executive Director of the program.

After graduation from the Business and Management Center in Dallas, Texas Lisa entered into recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, SC as an aircraft maintenance worker. In the course of boot camp her MOS was subsequently changed to Personnel Administration.  Upon graduation from recruit training she was stationed at Camp Johnson, NC to attend Personnel Administration School.  It was there she met and married her husband of 18 years who, consequently, is currently serving active duty in The Corps.  Following her enlistment Lisa has continued to work in the administrative, customer support arena. 

Her association with the Marine Corps over the past 20 years naturally caused her to have an affinity to the men and women of our Armed Forces.  This passion for the military made her an easy choice to bring into the Helmets to Hardhats program. 

Lisa and her husband are currently attached to the office of the Commandant of the Marine Corps at The Pentagon in Arlington, VA.  They have two daughters.
