Judge Lisa Marie Borchert

Lisa Marie Borchert is currently serving as the President of the ISES (International Special Events Society) Minneapolis-St. Paul Chapter and was a key contributor to the chapter's back-to-back International Chapter of the Year wins in 2006 and 2007. She is also a member of MPI, Meeting Planners International and FICP, Financial & Insurance Conference Planners.

Career highlights include managing a three-month cross country AIDS bike ride that went from Los Angeles to Atlanta and up the Eastern Seaboard to Boston, being a national nominee for Support Professional of the Year by Event Solutions magazine in '01, working for the Olympic Committee during the ’02 Salt Lake City Games and more recently, being a member of the team to win Allianz's Partnership and Innovation Award for 2006 and again in 2007.

Like a lot of planners she fell into the event industry. Her B.A. is actually in Fashion Design, and she attended college in London and LA. She had a friend in marketing who started working in the industry, called her and said, “I think this job is for you.” She interviewed, got the job as set crew loading trucks, learned the tactical to compliment her creative, and here she is today, planning meetings for Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, part of the 14th largest corporation in the world, and her former client.
