Meet the Staff

Lisa Kennedy, Pedigree Department Director

How many years have you worked for the NSR?  30 years

What is your favorite aspect of your role with the NSR?  I would have to say the shows as it has allowed me to meet so many people,  many of which have become lifelong friends. 

What is one thing you wish members knew about your job?  That each of us at NSR have more than one role but our top priority remains customer service. 

What is your favorite NSR memory?  I have many fond memories so it’s difficult to say I have a favorite. One would be the many road trips with Robin over the years.   Also traveling with my coworkers and getting to know them on a more personal basis and the adventures we’ve had. 

What was your involvement in the swine industry before your time with the NSR? I had no experience in the swine industry.  My brother had a few pigs while growing up and I was scared to death of them. 

Please list your spouse and children (fur children included).  Grandchildren:  Macyn 12; Prestyn 10; Addilyn 8. 

What do you enjoy doing outside of the office? Lawn work, walking, reading and spending time with family and friends.

Where is your favorite place to visit or where is your dream vacation?  Dream vacation would be an Alaskan cruise. 

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be? Queso and chips

What is a fun fact about yourself?  That I still get goosebumps every time we start a sale.
