I, Kelli Lively, am a Class of 1996 alumna of 4-H House and graduated UofI with a major in Finance from the College of Business. I grew up in West Salem, IL as part of a proud farming family and was a 10-year member of our local 4-H Club. As an undergraduate, I was an active member of the house mostly serving in offices related to Treasurer, Social, and Pledge guidance. I was proud to represent 4-H House on the University’s Panhellenic Council for two years, and held an elected position in Student Alumni Ambassadors (SAA) serving as Homecoming Committee Chairperson in my senior year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After college, I worked in various finance, treasury, and trust\nadministration roles at Citicorp and Northern Trust in Chicago, IL. At Northern\nTrust, Washington University in St. Louis was one of my not-for-profit trust\nadministration accounts, which led me to pursue a career at WashU when I\nmarried and had the desire to move back “downstate”. For the last 18\nyears, I have worked in higher education, in Admissions and Aid at Washington\nUniversity in St. Louis. Recently, I took at position as the Manager of Loan\nPrograms, reporting directly to the university Treasurer.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, my husband Troy and I live in rural Bethalto, Illinois,\nwith our four children — aged 8-16 — where we enjoy the outdoors, being\nactive in our children’s activities (including our local 4-H club, Fosterburg\nAg), and teaching our children the skills we learned in our youth, many through\n4-H. I am an active volunteer at our children’s school and parish serving as\nVice President of the School Board. I am the owner of ‘a little lively’, a\nsmall business hobby that allows me to enjoy occasional contract sewing and\npatternwork. Over the last 14 years, I’ve contributed my pattern and design\nskills to the success of Sweet Petunia Clothing, a children’s clothing brand\nbased in St. Louis  — a company proudly committed to textile\nmanufacturing in the U.S.A. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is so rewarding to see my family and life-long 4-H House\nfriends — some of the most amazing women I know — as Moms to daughters\nenjoying their time at UofI as members of 4-H House! For this reason, I have a\npersonal interest in ensuring the next generation experiences the best that 4-H\nHouse has to offer young active members — and I’m proud to serve as your\nAssociation Treasurer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
