biography
When she was in ninth grade, Lori's English teacher asked her class to present demonstration speeches. Lori picked cheerleading as her topic (because she was a cheerleader) and received an 'A' for her speech as well as the comment, "very animated." Lori's presentation was so good, a video of her presentation was used as a guide for future generations. She has received high marks for her speaking ever since.
An environmentalist, Lori has been reducing, reusing and recycling since she was a kid growing up surrounded by Amish Farms in Lancaster County, PA; however, after being educated about the impact of our actions on the environment, she was prompted to make every facet of her work and home life as sustainable as possible.
A 14-year member of the International Special Events Society (ISES), Lori served as president of the Greater Washington, DC chapter the year it won International ISES Chapter of the Year, was a member of the International Board of Governors for three years and has been nominated for and won industry awards. She is a co-producer of the Mid-Atlantic Green Wedding Showcase, an annual trade show featuring sustainable wedding and event vendors as well as an eco fashion show.
Lori is also a member of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. For the past three winters, she has jumped into the icy waters of the Chesapeake Bay to raise thousands of dollars for CCAN'S fight against climate change.
A graduate of the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, Lori also graduated from The Event Management Program at The George Washington University.
In addition to producing award-winning corporate and social events, Lori has appeared on TV and speaks frequently about green events as well as greening your business operations and personal life. She looks forward to the day when we no longer have a need for the term "green events" because all events WILL be green.
