As the Executive Events Manager for Kaiser Permanente in the Mid-Atlantic States, Vicki manages both internal and member-facing events including large conferences, receptions, trade shows, ribbon-cutting celebrations, and educational workshops.

Vicki seamlessly pivots from coordinating with brick-and-mortar venues to creating totally virtual event environments on a variety of platforms, allowing Kaiser Permanente to reach a broader audience.  She also leads the Mid-Atlantic regional volunteerism program, which works with Kaiser Permanente’s community partners to strategically coordinate a diverse offering of events supporting our local communities. When she’s not running meetings, Vicki enjoys cooking up fantastic meals for her family and watching her two boys play outside.
