Lori Brauer is an analytical creative with a passion for community. Lori offers 20 years of administrative, financial, operational, and multi-faceted leadership experience in managing charitable nonprofit organizations.

For 12 years, at the Michigan Council of Women in Technology Foundation (MCWT), Lori evolved to lead multiple administrative and organizational functions and teams. She supported significant partnership expansion and membership growth; empowered strong digital marketing efforts; and led robust operations, including database development.

In 2016, Lori became Special Events Manager for the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan. During her tenure she implemented new software to help increase event participation and donations so that the foundation experienced a significant increase in both, primarily through the events that Lori initiated and successfully executed.   

Lori joined the Mario Morrow & Associates team in August 2021 as Lead Project Manager and Senior Meeting Planner. With her vast experience, industry knowledge, and multidisciplinary background, Lori adds extremely impactful work to the success of the clients at MMA.
