Lisa Bradner

Lisa grew up at Christ Church singing in the choir. She and her husband Jim (Burnham) were married at Christ Church and returned as parishioners in time for their children, James (now 27) and Kate (now 22) to sing in the choir as well. For Lisa, music is integral to worship and she delights in the breadth and depth of musical expression at Christ Church.

Lisa works at the intersection of media and technology and is currently Chief Strategy Officer for a creative technology company. She has a BA from Yale University and an MBA from Northwestern. Lisa, her husband and their spoiled rotten Samoyed live in Glencoe.

Linda Maclachlan

Linda and her husband, David, and their twin 16-year-old daughters, Jenna and Tara, were drawn to Christ Church during Covid, where their daughters joined the choir and all felt the warmth of the Christ Church community.  After joining the choir herself last year, Linda and her family took their first (but hopefully not last!) choir trip to England this past summer.  Linda also enjoys volunteering at Rummage and helping with Christmas Angels with her daughters.  

Professionally, Linda began her career at Accenture, got her MBA at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, and founded an IT services firm. Over two decades later, her firm, Entara, has grown into a national cyber security services firm that helps clients fight the war on cyber-crime reactively and proactively.  For fun Linda is a certified Rocky Mountain Division ski instructor and loves spending time in Colorado with her family.
