president's biography

Lori HillAn 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. Currently, she sits on the board of the Chesapeake Sustainable Business Alliance (CSBA) where she serves as the director of events.

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.
