Mary Martha Greene

Mary M. Greene is an award-winning cook. (Ok, so the award was in 9th grade for baking Napoleons for State Foreign Language Day, but it was first place and she still has the trophy!) After this stunning victory, she dreamed of a culinary, or at least creative career. Her dream of following in the footsteps of a family friend and running the National Chicken Cooking Contest was waylaid by her Family Court Judge Father her freshman year of college when she came home for Christmas break and he informed her she’d be reporting for duty as a page at the State House in January. That led to a 40-year career in government relations and politics, including serving on the Governor staff of Governor Richard W. Riley, lobbying, political action, business development and consulting.
