Lisa Bolger

A lifelong San Diegan and longtime Point Loma resident, Lisa Bolger has a deep commitment to community. Whether helping families plan their futures, coordinating meaningful events, supporting local nonprofits, or volunteering with animal rescue organizations, Lisa is energized by serving others and creating connections.

Her background blends heartfelt service and thoughtful strategy. Lisa began her journey in animal health—working in veterinary medicine and passionately advocating for animal welfare. This passion extended beyond her career through active volunteering with local animal rescues, dedicating time and resources to help find loving homes for animals in need.

That same commitment to care and attention to detail led to a rewarding 20-plus-year career in special events, planning diverse and dynamic gatherings throughout San Diego—from intimate dinners to massive community celebrations hosting over 20,000 guests. Her work has included iconic venues such as the USS Midway Museum, the San Diego Convention Center, and many cherished historic homes and museums across the county. These experiences reinforced a strong belief in the power of hospitality to connect people and build community.

Lisa later expanded her focus by leading a nationwide food service and hospitality program for a Fortune 500 company, managing operations and enhancing workplace culture through thoughtful, people-centered solutions.

Currently, Lisa runs Trusty Ink Works Services, combining a spirit of care with practical guidance. Through mobile notary work, estate planning support, and financial protection resources, she helps individuals, families, and small business owners make empowered decisions about their futures.

Lisa is deeply committed to San Diego’s wellbeing—especially through nonprofit partnerships, advocacy for underserved communities, and ongoing animal rescue efforts. She is also an active member of Grapevine – Women in Business for Good, connecting with others who share a passion for community impact.

Outside of work and volunteering, Lisa enjoys biking around town on her e-bike, tending to an ever-growing succulent garden, traveling, camping with her husband, and spending time at home with their rescue cat.
