Lisa Hacker, Access Program Manager

As Access’ Program Manager, my job is to help other Jewish young professionals make new friends and get connected to our community.  I love the work I do and feel very fortunate to be part of something that has helped enhance Jewish life so significantly for young adults in Greater Cincinnati!

Although I’m originally from Cleveland, I moved here right after high school to attend The University of Cincinnati, and liked it so much I decided to stay!  I began working for The Mayerson Foundation in 2004 and have managed the Access program since its conception in 2005.  As Program Manager, it’s my job to oversee all Access programs from creation to implementation, and everything in between. But what I enjoy the most is getting the chance to meet new people and help them make meaningful connections.  It has been so rewarding to see the many friendships, relationships and even marriages, that have resulted from people’s participation in our programs!  

Please feel free to contact me any time if you would like to talk about Access or share a potential program idea.  And if we haven’t met, I look forward to having the chance to introduce myself to you in person at one of our upcoming events!  Looking forward to seeing you soon!   -Lisa   Click Here to contact me.


Rachel Rothstein, Access Program Assistant


As a recent Miami University graduate and native Cincinnatian, I am glad that my new position as Access' Program Assistant has brought me home again where I'll be near friends and family and have the chance to reconnect with all the great things our city has to offer young professionals.

"I loved growing up in Cincinnati and am glad to be back.  I feel especially lucky to have found a job that allows me to do all the things I enjoy most, while getting the chance to meet new people, practically on a daily basis."  As Program Assistant, I will help create and run Access events and take an active role in marketing and public relations functions.  Feel free to contact me anytime, just to say hi or to share any program ideas you may have!  -Rachel  Click Here to contact me.
