Meet Leora Kimmel Greene
Leora is an energetic, detail-oriented event strategist and project manager with more than 20 years of experience in events and fundraising.
She brings creative thinking, clear communication, and calm leadership to every project. Her ability to see both the big picture and the smallest moving pieces allows her to transform a client’s vision into an experience that feels meaningful, personal, and seemingly effortless.
Leora founded ONE28 to give clients more than an event planner. She wanted them to have a thoughtful partner who would understand what mattered, care deeply about the outcome, and make it possible for them to enjoy the experience too.
