The Lansing Foundation Advisory Board

11/10/26 by Hunter Lansing

The Lansing Foundation exists to make a positive impact in people’s lives by supporting our communities.

I want to thank Justin Astrin for his three years of service on the Lansing Foundation Advisory Board, including his leadership as President this past year. While helping guide the Foundation’s efforts, Justin also played a key role in the configuration of LansingNOW powered by SAP. His commitment to serving others and moving our business forward has made a lasting impact on both our company and our culture.

I also want to recognize and thank our other outgoing Advisory Board members, Alyssa Fein (Outside Salesperson – Braintree, MA), Dan Drake (IT Service and Support Manager – Home Office), and Stephen Tate (Branch Operations Manager – Richmond, VA), for their dedication and contributions over the past two years.

Together, this group helped lead our I Stand With campaign, promoting volunteer opportunities across 34 states and encouraging associates to make a difference in their communities. Their efforts helped strengthen awareness of the Foundation and inspired more associates to use their Volunteer Leave benefit, which provides up to 16 hours of paid time off each year to support causes that matter to them.

I am excited to announce our 2026-2027 Lansing Foundation Advisory Board, led by incoming President Lisa DeFazio. As Director of Branch Support, Lisa exemplifies our purpose through both her work at Lansing and in her volunteer efforts with the New Hampshire Food Bank.

Supporting Lisa as Vice President will be Lindy Heffernan. Through her role as Benefits Manager and her involvement with Richmond-area youth sports organizations and conservation initiatives, Lindy consistently demonstrates our TRUE BLUE behavior of Making Each Day Better.

They will be joined by new board members Aidee Alvarado, Outside Salesperson – Richmond, VA; Caleb Dawson, Information Technology Service & Support Supervisor – Home Office; Mallory Ledet, Branch Operations Manager – Auburn, AL; Stephen Magnuson, Logistics Specialist – Home Office; and Travis Bullard, Rebates Analyst – Home Office.

I am grateful to both our outgoing and incoming Advisory Board members for their willingness to serve. The Lansing Foundation continues to make a positive impact because of associates who step forward to give their time and talents in support of others. I look forward to all that this board will accomplish together in the year ahead.
