Meeting & Speaker: Lisa D. Foster
2023-12-08 09:30 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Laguna Presbyterian Church, Tankersley Hall, 415 Forest Ave., Laguna Beach, 92651, United States
Join us on December 8th for our general meeting to hear the Lisa D. Foster give a presentation titled How I Became the Bag Lady: How I started a business for a greener world and changed the way America Shops.
In 2005, the U.S. was throwing away a billion plastic bags a day. That was when Lisa discovered the impacts of all those bags on the environment and our health. She became obsessed with getting America to switch to reusable bags. And for the next 12 years dedicated herself to becoming the “bag lady”, an entrepreneur whose mission was to save the world, one bag at a time. Through her experiences, she inspires audience members to become aware of how the little choices we make every day, like reusing a bag, have a big effect on our world.
Lisa D. Foster, Ph. D., ACC offers coaching and group training to help managers become more effective leaders by using emotional intelligence to create the conditions for high performance. In 2005, she founded 1 Bag at a Time, Inc., a first-to-market reusable grocery bag company. A former high-school English teacher, she became a pioneer in the fight against single-use plastic and a top supplier of reusable bags in the US. She sold her business in 2017. As a coach, she shares her expertise in leadership and emotional intelligence with her clients and inspires others to make a difference in their communities and organizations. In addition to coaching, Lisa speaks, leads workshops, and writes about emotional intelligence, leadership, and storytelling.

2024-03-08 09:30 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Laguna Presbyterian Church, Tankersley Hall, 415 Forest Ave., Laguna Beach, 92651, United States
Take an engineer and an educator, move them to South County, and they discover birds! Alan Barry and his wife, Maggie, moved to Rancho Santa Margarita 26 years ago. They were immediately enthralled by the variety of birds in their yard and sought out a bird feeding resource. This brought them to Wild Birds Unlimited in Mission Viejo. After having been customers for several years, they bought the franchise from the original owner in 2014. Now both retired from their prior careers, Alan and Maggie continue to enjoy operating the store with their team of fellow bird lovers.
Join us at our General Meeting on March 8th to hear our speaker Alan Barry give a presentation on The Joy of Bird Feeding. He’ll be speaking about all aspects of the hobby, focusing on the actions you can take in your own yard to attract our local birds.
