Lou Kelsey
Director of Client Services & Community Resources              

Lou, a long time resident of Eau Claire, has been with the Epilepsy Foundation of Western Wisconsin since 2003. In that time she has done a wonderful job with projects such as DVR Fee for Service, the AWE-some support group, and Health Benefits Counseling and counselor at Kids Camp for the week. Lou's background in housing has been an asset to clients, as well as her vast knowledge of services available in many of our 22 counties. She is also in charge of coordinating EFWW's fundraisers - the Stroll in the Park, and the Share the Flame Dinner and Silent Auction.  Lou puts in tireless hours making sure that these events are the absolute best they can be!  She has two daughters and grandsons living in the Twin Cities area.
