We are shocked and deeply saddened at the recent passing of Alison McNeice. Alison raised the SITE SoCal chapter to new heights during her year as President in 2005 and her legacy lives on today in our continuing success. A much loved and highly respected individual, Alison will be very much missed by her many friends and industry colleagues. Our thoughts and sympathies are with her family at this difficult time.

Biophilic Design is a term not many are familiar with, but should be due to it’s growing popularity among businesses. Biophilia is a hypothesis that suggests there is an undeniable bond between human beings and other living systems. Combine that definition with a design method and you get a very rare yet successful aesthetic, which basically states that you can use natural designs to help meetings thrive. This unique design style describes innovative ways in which to transform places where we work, meet, and learn into a natural oasis. Picture for a moment the images that run through your mind when you think about attending a meeting or conference, usually you’ll conjure up visions of boardrooms and banquet halls with bland colored walls and artificial lighting, desperately in need of attention. But what if we could change that? By following the biophilic design model, businesses all over the world have redefined and redesigned what corporate events of any kind should look like.
