Lisa A. Grimaldi

Editor, Incentive / Editor, incentives & destinations, Northstar Meetings Group

I am the editor of Incentive and editor, incentives & destinations, for Northstar Meetings Group. A New Jersey native, I hold a B.S. in journalism from Boston University and a post-graduate certificate in magazine editing from Columbia School of Journalism. When I'm not catching up on my ever-expanding reading list, I'm adding to my wish list of new places to discover. Among my favorite travels thus far are Australia, Bali, South Africa, Panama and Colombia, but Italy — where my family still owns a home — holds a special place in my heart.
