She has also been a member of the Trillium Chapter Board of Directors. Most recently, she spearheaded the inaugural Winter Summit, ensuring its phenomenal success.

Lisa Natale, CMP, Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto

If it is possible for a member’s inaugural volunteer activities to have such an impact on the community that the results are felt months and years down the road, Lisa has done just that.
A CSAE Trillium Chapter member for exactly 5 years, Lisa was encouraged to get involved by a colleague. Lisa’s very first volunteer initiative was as Chair of the 2010 Awards and Recognition Dinner. Through her leadership, the 2010 Awards and Recognition Dinner transformed from a good event to a terrific event.
