MADISON, WI - Department of Corrections Secretary Matthew Frank earlier this month appointed Rose Spaar as chief of the Division of Community Corrections (DCC) region that spans the Green Bay-Appleton-Oshkosh corridor, and Lisa Kenyon as chief of the Southeast Wisconsin region that includes Kenosha, Racine and Walworth counties. “Lisa Kenyon and Rose Spaar not only bring extensive experience in community corrections to their new roles, but they also have built and strengthened ties with local law enforcement agencies, community providers, victim advocates and other key partners that help our Department fulfill its mission of public safety every day,” Secretary Frank said. “Their leadership will further promote enhanced safety in our communities by holding offenders accountable and encouraging them to take personal responsibility to become productive, law-abiding citizens who do not commit new crimes.” Kenyon began in 1992 as a probation and parole agent and advanced in 2000 to corrections field supervisor. In 2004, she became assistant regional chief of the Kenosha-Racine-Walworth region. She has been involved with the WIDOC's re-entry committee; has served as program management council representative; and has worked on the sex offender cross divisional team. She represents the DCC on community advisory boards and has been active in groups like the Rock County Law Enforcement Association. Kenyon earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. She replaces retired regional chief Terri Lee Danner. In 1984, Spaar became a social worker at the Drug and Alcohol Correctional Center in Winnebago County, and then served as a probation and parole agent in 1988. She advanced to a corrections field supervisor in 1992, and in 2000 became assistant regional chief for the region she now leads. Spaar has worked with the WIDOC re-entry steering committee, the agent hiring workgroup, and the leadership training series program development and oversight committee. She is a member of the Brown County Community Relations Board, the Governor's Call to Action - Prevention of Child Abuse steering committee, and the National Institute of Corrections communications and audit committee. She earned her bachelor's degree at UW-Stevens Point. Spaar replaces retired regional chief Jim Miller. |
