Lauren Lucas is a Technology Manager - Strategy and Operations at Allstate. Colleagues describe her as "Ms. Lomonaco and I met during the National Orientation Directors Association Regional Conference in 2011 for the Regional Orientation Leaders Institute (ROLI) program. As part of this program Ms. Lomonaco was recommended by her supervisor to participate in this extended leadership experience. As part of ROLI Ms. Lomonaco received additional opportunities for networking and knowledge sharing amongst other student orientation leaders as well as orientation professionals. Throughout the experience Ms. Lomonaco sought out connections between the information, wisdom, and tactics she was learning to her own institution's program. She was a pleasure to work with as she wanted nothing more than to become a orientation leader, a better team captain, and a better leader in and out of the classroom.", "It was a pleasure to supervise Lauren last summer through her work as an orientation leader. Serving as an orientation leader is one of the most exhausting and difficult positions to hold and Lauren quickly rose to the occasion and turned challenges into opportunities for learning and growth. She works well with others and never has to be asked to do something twice. Lauren is a true leader that others admire and respect and her compassion and strong work ethic will serve her well in all her endeavors.", and "Lauren is a terrific leader, colleague, and friend. This past summer I was lucky enough to work with Lauren on the Orientation staff at JWU. As a new hire, I was filled with questions, and Lauren stepped right in as a mentor to help me out. She answered all of my questions, offered advice, and helped me out with anything I needed. As the summer progressed, Lauren took me under her wing, and I was able to see her true potential. She is a great role model, organized, respectful, and able to communicate well with her peers, as well as supervisors. I look forward to working with Lauren again this summer, and possibly in the future. She will be a great asset to any team!"
