34 From Longmeadow to Capitol Hill Lori Venberg Roop '79 Alumna Lori Roop is a powerful example of how a Bay Path education can take you anywhere, even places you might not expect. After graduating from Bay Path in 1979, a volunteer opportunity with Connecticut state senator Nancy Johnson's congressional campaign turned into full- time work in Washington, D.C. Eventually Lori became Director of Scheduling and Advance for labor secretary Elizabeth Dole, a role that would take Lori across the country and the world. For the past eight years, Lori has been Director of Special Events for the United States Holocaust Museum, where she oversees a staff of eight in the planning and execution of more than 200 events a year in Washington, D.C., and in cities across the country. Her secret to success? "I credit where I am to Bay Path: Bay Path was my launching pad for my career, giving me the skills, mindset, and tools to move forward." When Lori isn't working, you will likely find her volun- teering at her church, or on campus for a meeting of the Bay Path Board of Trustees, which Lori joined in 2014. Lori and her hus- band, Jon, have also served as event chairs for the Bay Path University President's Gala, which gives Lori the opportunity to combine her professional expertise with her desire to support her alma mater.
