The passion Southern California native and Descanso Gardens Foundation CEO Juliann Rooke has for environmental issues is contagious — particularly her focus on water. Hear how during her tenure, Descanso Gardens has seen a significant growth in attendance and its membership has doubled. Financial results from operations have also increased substantially, providing more revenue to reinvest in the care and maintenance of the facility — including the 15-year Master Plan effort. With 30 years of experience in nonprofit management, Rooke has worked at Descanso Gardens since 2008. Luncheon included.

Descanso Gardens is owned by the County of Los Angeles and is managed by Descanso Gardens Foundation a 501(c)(3) community-supported nonprofit, since 1993.
