She has tirelessly and generously contributed to the stewardship and sustainability of the Lake Tahoe basin. She's set up (and initially self-funded) 'Sustainable Tahoe' and is holding the light for the collective vision of cultivating the Lake Tahoe region as a leader on a world stage in GeoTourism and Sustainable Living. She's organized and spearheaded numerous events, including a large congress last year bringing together leaders in the field of sustainability. The latest project is the 2011 Tahoe Expo, showcasing possibilities for a new Tahoe economy. This networking event helps set the stage for uniting the necessary groups that will realize this expo and continue action in sustainability far into the future. Sustainable Tahoe exists to aid companies and organizations to profit from environmentally responsible business and activity. http://www.sustaintahoe.wordpress.com
