Introducing the Leader-First® Leadership Summit Leaders!
Each day, we’re highlighting the outstanding leaders who will gather with us this September to recharge, reconnect, and recommit to leading with purpose. Today, we’re proud to feature Lutricia Eberly, an association executive, entrepreneur, and community leader whose work bridges hospitality, tourism strategy, outdoor recreation, and cross-cultural leadership.
Lutricia serves as Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Outdoor Recreation Association, a statewide trade association representing outdoor recreation providers across Pennsylvania. As the organization’s sole staff member, she works closely with a volunteer board while balancing advocacy, strategy, member engagement, and the day-to-day work of moving an organization forward.
Her entrepreneurial work reaches well beyond Pennsylvania. Lutricia is also the co-founder of Complete Safaris, a boutique business that creates custom safari itineraries in Kenya, drawing on her experience in hospitality, relationship-building, and cross-cultural connection.
Lutricia is deeply engaged in civic and industry leadership. She chairs the Tourism Committee for the Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation and serves as Board Chair for Leadership Cumberland. Her service also includes leadership roles with the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association and Meeting Professionals International, where she contributes at both the chapter and international levels.
Her foundation in hospitality began with 14 years in the ski industry, but one experience that continues to shape her leadership came later, while working for a girl-focused nonprofit. There, Lutricia helped transform a struggling volunteer program into a strong team capable of delivering sold-out youth experiences. The experience reinforced something that remains central to her leadership today: when people are trusted, supported, and given the opportunity to build their capability, meaningful results follow.
We’re looking forward to having Lutricia in the room and to the perspective she will bring on entrepreneurial leadership, community building, and leading across organizations, cultures, and communities.
