SPEAKER & TOPIC: If you’re interested in a perspective on why being green is easy – and worthwhile – from someone who is putting his money where his mouth is, look no further than Cincinnati’s own Dan Korman, owner of Park + Vine.
Since graduating from the school of planning at the University of Cincinnati in 1991 and studying preservation planning at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY in 1997, Dan has worked in a variety of nonprofit management positions focused primarily on community-initiated neighborhood improvement in Ohio, Kentucky, New York and Illinois. He has been heavily involved in downtown revitalization in communities across the state of Illinois, as a leader in the Illinois Main Street program. Dan went on to head up membership and communications initiatives for more than 5,000 members at the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, the Chicago region’s nonprofit bicycling advocacy organization.
In addition, Dan is a big architecture buff, urban explorer, believer in supporting local economies, and steward for the environment and animals. He is nurturing these passions through volunteer work and his new business, Park + Vine, Cincinnati’s green general store. Come along on August 30 and listen as Dan shares his enthusiasm and ideas for greener living with ease, for fun, and for life.
