Meet Liz Swanson

As ICAHN’s Assistant Director of Professional Education Services, Liz Swanson plays a key role in planning and delivering educational programs tailored to the needs of rural healthcare teams. She is actively involved in grant writing, budgeting, and the development of impactful educational events. Liz also oversees documentation and record keeping for nursing contact hours. In addition to her organizational leadership, Liz brings a passion for presenting, particularly in helping supervisors grow their leadership skills.

Liz has spent the majority of her career working in the nonprofit sector, bringing energy and heart to a wide range of missions. She served for several years as a professional Girl Scout and also held roles with the American Heart Association and the American Lung Association. One of her most rewarding projects was coordinating a team of AmeriCorps volunteers who helped senior citizens across Missouri navigate their Medicare options. Liz’s career path has been anything but conventional—she and her husband even owned a restaurant at one point. And while she has yet to use her Fashion Merchandising degree from William Woods College, she’s found no shortage of meaningful and memorable ways to make a difference.
