Lara Barbour – joined HSF in 2025
Senior Director of Marketing Strategy, Ascension Healthcare
Lara became involved because she has a true passion for ensuring that our community offers the best opportunities for our kids. She comes from a long line of teachers and believes that a strong school system is central to a strong community.
In her role, Lara loves connecting people with the care they need to live happier, healthier lives. She gives back to our community through her involvement in dozens of groups, organizations and boards. And, as a mom of three, she puts her passion into youth and education causes that help shape the future of our Hodags.
While not originally from Rhinelander, Lara proudly calls herself an adopted Hodag. Most often, you can find her on the sidelines of her kids’ sporting event or activity.
