Elizabeth (Liz) Adams, resident of Grant County since 2004, resides with her husband Ed in what was his childhood home in Jonesboro. A mother of three, grandmother of two, faith, family and community service motivate Adams in all she does.

An honors graduate of Blackford High School, Hartford City, IN; and Ball State University (Teachers College), Muncie, IN; with study at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN; Adams is eager to invest all talents and gifts in her new role as Vice President of Member Relations with Greater Grant County.
