Kelly Meyer is a passionate environmentalist who, over the past ten years, has worked with several national and local organizations and schools to encourage thoughtful action and behavior with regard to our planet.  As head of the NRDC Leadership Council in Southern California and a member of the NRDC Global Leadership Council, she helps to educate the public on current issues and lobbies for environmental legislation.

In conjunction with Heal the Bay, she helped to pass the Environmental Education Initiative (EEI) which provides environmental education throughout all disciplines, in grades K-12, in the State of California. As the PTA President at Point Dume Marine Science School, she used her position and influence to encourage environmental education and action within the community.  The education of children is key to her philosophy as an environmentalist, which led to her raising the necessary funds to install wind and solar power at the local elementary school, teaching by example. She also, together with her partner, built the first LEED Platinum home in California, used to educate people on Green building practices. Profits from the sale of the home were used to support local environmental organizations. 

She is also a co-founder of the Women's Cancer Research Fund, which has raised over 30 million dollars in support of local institutions and the Biomarker Discovery Project, a consortium of world-class investigators working to find a blood test for early detection of cancers. As an environmentalist, Kelly understands the connection between the environment and a cancer free society.

Kelly is an avid stand up paddler, surfer, yoga devotee and tri-athlete. She is the mother of two, Carson and Eli, and wife of Ron Meyer, President and COO of Universal/NBC.
