Liz and her family have lived in Boulder for quite a while. She jokes that when they moved to Boulder from Florida Canyon was a dirt road. She is a product of the DU education system with a degree in Alternative Dispute Resolution and a licensed architect. Liz has been a part of Bowes Spiegel Architects and Project Managers since they were founded in 1986 and have completed many architectural projects from office, hotels, homes, and additions all over Colorado and Utah. Liz says, 'It is extremely satisfying for her to complete a project which people enjoy for many years to come.' Bowes Spiegel has donated their services over the years to all sorts of projects around town, such as new dug-outs at Scott Carpenter Par, the reception remodel at Mental Health Center the Boulder Valley Women's Clinic.
Liz is the proud mother of two sons and says she has a soft spot for teenagers, which is the drive for her service to the community. In her spare time she volunteers at the YWCA and Attention Homes. These organizations focus on helping dis-advantaged teens and provide not only food and shelter for teens, but guidance to become productive community members. If you are unaware there are over 200 homeless teens on the streets of Boulder and Liz and youth organizations are currently working on an addition to the to the Attention Homes' Broadway House to be able to accommodate more teens and serve more warm meals, housing, Internet use, showers, etc. Aside from being deeply involved with dis-advantaged teens, Liz has also been a Victim's Advocate for the BPD for almost 2 years as a mediator.
I want to thank Liz for everything she does for the Boulder community and want to help spread awareness for Attention Homes and hope that who ever reads this becomes inspired to give back and be a part of something bigger.
Liz, you are an inspiration. We appreciate everything you do for our community!
