Jennifer Kelliher

Director at Large

How long have you been a member of the Lions organization?

I joined the Lions in 2018 when the Women XVs program started and have been a board member since 2021.

Why did you choose to join the Lions organization?

I chose to play with the Lions because of their investment in women's rugby and the ability to offer the best facility and coaching in the midwest. I chose to serve the Lion's community because I believe in the importance of development of players, coaches, and refs for men, women, and youth programs.

What type of work do you do with the Lions?

I focus on supporting both the women's 7s and XVs program in addition to assisting the DOR with senior program budgets.
