MeetGreen®

Meet Nancy Zavada, CMP Fellow, Founder, & President 🌱

Nancy’s work is rooted in a passion for the environment and convening people to deliver real business results.

Her favorite part of what she does? The people, whether it’s her colleagues or the clients MeetGreen serves. They are all caring, hardworking, and committed to making a difference.

Fun fact: Nature is Nancy's inspiration. She calls the Oregon Coast home, where abundant natural beauty is right outside her door.

Another fun fact, 33 years ago today the MeetGreen journey began. Today we celebrate this anniversary and look forward to the future and making an impact with sustainable events! 🎉

In 2025, MeetGreen helped keep 653,124 kilograms of event materials out of landfills through composting, recycling, and donations.

That’s roughly the same weight as 65 fully loaded garbage trucks that never made it to the dump. 🚚

How did we get there?

By planning for waste reduction from day one. Partnering closely with clients, venues, and vendors to design smarter systems, set clear goals, and make data-informed decisions.

We design events that are better for people and the planet by guiding planners with measurable and data-driven strategies that reduce environmental impact to improve event outcomes.

Curious how much waste you could divert at your next conference or meeting?

👉 Let’s talk about what’s possible.

Earth Day is a celebration and a checkpoint.

It’s our reminder to:
- Reflect
- Act
- Refocus
- Recommit

You don’t have to have it all figured out to get started. As Jane Goodall says, “Just do something.”

Look at what matters most in your community and turn that into action:
- Join or host a trash cleanup
- Plant trees or native plants
- Volunteer with a local environmental organization

It doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful. Every small, consistent step adds up to real impact especially when we all do our part.

Happy Earth Day. Let’s take care of this beautiful planet, together. 🌎
