Elizabeth Paul

As Executive Director of the Mesothelioma Research Foundation of America, Mrs. Paul brings a fresh, energetic approach to a foundation offering hope to many. Her fundraising abilities will be a primary asset in the challenges of running a non-profit, health-centered organization.

She comes to the Foundation having served as Office Manager, Client Liaison, and finally. Director of Settlements for the Law Offices of Jerry Neil Paul. Through her work at the law firm, she developed a true appreciation of the tragic consequences of contracting mesothelioma and its impact on family members. This exposure to victims and their families, their medical needs and related problems makes her uniquely qualified to direct and influence others in their understanding and support of the Mesothelioma Foundation.

No stranger to adversity, in 1997, Mrs. Paul suffered a series of strokes and ensuing paralysis. For 18 months, she had limited mobility with a full leg brace and wheel chair for transportation. She endured many of those same emotions a mesothelioma victim must endure. She knows the value of research dollars. She knows the value of hope.

Many schools' parent service organizations have benefited from Mrs. Paul's contributions andservices over the years. Her own hobbies, including walking, reading, tennis and baking, always take a back seat to enjoying family time.

Mrs. Paul was bom in the mid-western state of Ohio. She has 3 brothers residing literally around the world. She met her husband. Jerry, while doing undergraduate study. They have celebrated over 20 years of marriage and six children ranging from 7 to 19 years of age. The family resides in Westlake Village.
