Lisa shares the remarkable story of how she left a successful career in international finance to create Green Pond Packaging, a solo venture bringing compostable, eco-friendly food packaging to the Lehigh Valley and beyond. Her mission began with an “Aha” moment: one afternoon at a local ice cream shop, she noticed dozens of styrofoam cups being thrown away. That simple observation was the catalyst that launched her vision of replacing everyday products with plant-based, compostable alternatives. Join us as we dive into: The “Aha” Moment: How one trip to an ice cream shop sparked Lisa’s vision for sustainable packaging, inspiring her to explore compostable options to replace single-use containers.

Beyond the Lehigh Valley: With ambitions to expand into new regions and even government contracts, Lisa shares her advice on the importance of networking and her goals for Green Pond Packaging’s future. Educational Outreach: Lisa’s mission extends beyond just sales. She’s passionate about educating businesses on the benefits of compostable products, helping them make the switch from less eco-friendly options they’ve used for years.

If you’re a renter, buyer, or seller in the city, this is something that could have a direct impact on you, and we’re here to help you understand what’s going on! We’ve invited three experts from the Greater Lehigh Valley Realtors (GLVR) to walk us through everything you need to know about the proposed tax hike and answer your questions live. These knowledgeable guests will explain what the proposal asks of voters, what a “Yes” or “No” vote means, and why GLVR is taking an active role in educating the public. They’ll also dive into why this matters for more than just the real estate community—anyone in Allentown should be paying attention to this referendum. We’ll cover these important questions: What exactly does the referendum ask voters to decide on? What would a vote “Yes” mean? What about a vote “No”? Why is GLVR running a public information campaign around this referendum? Is GLVR telling voters how to vote, or is this campaign purely informational? Who should care about the outcome and why? If voters approve the referendum, will GLVR continue their involvement?
