Elizabeth Luekens brings more than 25 years of marketing strategy and execution experience to the Port Rec & Youth Foundation. While her career spans a variety of industries, more than half of her work has been dedicated to nonprofit organizations, including the past 10 years leading the marketing automation and CRM team for a multi-state healthcare system. Elizabeth became involved with the Foundation through her work on the Senior Celebration fundraising initiative while her son was a student at Newburyport High School. She is deeply committed to supporting programs that strengthen and enrich the lives of our community’s youth by providing safe, inclusive, and supportive environments in which they can grow and thrive. She lives in Newburyport with her husband, a former Newburyport School Committee member, and their two sons—both of whom participated in Newburyport Youth Services programs when they were younger. Outside of work and volunteering, Elizabeth can often be found at a baseball field, exploring new hobbies with friends, or traveling with her family.
