Managing a Diverse Career Path

Over the years, Lynnette Demanes has thrown herself into a wide range of careers. She received her bachelor’s degree in secondary education from Bradley University and went on to teach at Academy of Our Lady/Spalding. After receiving her master’s degree from Illinois State University and completing a stint in the medical field, the sudden passing of her father propelled Demanes into managing a number of family businesses, including an 18-year career in radio at WTAZ. Now the owner of Ravina on the Lakes and Scrapadoodle—the Peoria area’s largest scrapbook and paper crafting store—the 17-year Rotary member looks forward to returning to education and volunteering her time to District 150. The mother of three daughters lives with her husband, Mike Fleming, in Peoria.
