Jill Lash (she/her)
Chapter Program Coordinator 

In 2019, inspired by the Free Mom Hugs movement, Jill became a state chapter leader in Michigan. Witnessing the movement's nationwide growth, she expanded her involvement to the national level serving on the Executive Committee. Jill began doing contract work for Free Mom Hugs in 2022 and joined the national staff in 2023.  

Combining her LGBTQIA+ advocacy with her legal background, Jill strives to make a difference by helping state leaders build strong and resilient chapters. Her goal is to empower leaders, ensuring that they have the support and resources needed to create safe, inclusive spaces in their communities. 

Jill resides in southeast Michigan with her family and enjoys reading, cooking and spending time with family and her chihuahua, Bug and her cat, Millie.
