MARY PORTER GREEN,
C-ZONE FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
 Mary
Porter Green is Founder and President of Curiosity Zone, Co-founder of
Ever Wonder Records,
and a frequently sought speaker on the topics of curiosity and
innovative thinking. Mary wonders about everything, and puts
her child-like sensibility into all that she does.
Mary was named Loudoun County’s
Entrepreneur of the Year in 2005, and has served on Loudoun County’s
Economic Development Commission since 2008. She is also hard
at work on a book about curiosity with best-selling author
Chic Thompson.

was an editor of the Virginia Law Review. Mary
lives in Ashburn, Virginia with her husband, two stepchildren,
two dogs, two frogs, three hermit crabs and a hamster.
Mary's life is one big science project -- the kitchen is rarely
clean, muddy tracks are common, and there is always something
curious (and often alive) on the counter.

More about Mary's presentations on
curiosity and innovation:
"I heard
several positive comments throughout the day about your
presentation. I simply want to reiterate how glad I am you
accepted our invitation. You really did a nice job tying
together United Way and curiosity. You will be as pleased as
we are with the Free Lance-Star article that appeared in
today's edition, front page Region section. [We] think the
article is one of the best [they have] written about
Rappahannock United Way." -- Stephen Batsche,
President, Rappahannock United Way, Inc.
"Mary Porter possesses the rare
ability to engage an audience and deliver meaningful content
that inspires people to act. As a speaker, it is far easier to
amuse then to educate an audience. Mary Porter is the rare
speaker who can do both and the results are simply outstanding.
Captivating, inspiring and impactful are descriptors that truly
signify a successful speaker. Simply put, Mary Porter is that
person." --
Joe Watson, National TV Commentator and Author of "Without
Excuses"
“I love the way Mary combines a
childlike sense of joy and curiosity together with her very
grown-up business savvy in all her presentations. You
simply can't do better.” – Robin Suomi, Executive Director,
Loudoun SBDC
