A lifetime golfer and environmental studies major, Veasey first combined her two passions in a Bristol Fellowship post-graduation. Her Bristol year brought her to nine countries, including Japan, Iceland, and Argentina, to investigate sustainability in global golf course maintenance practices.
In the years that followed, Veasey worked in various environmental roles, from lobbying for renewable energy to supporting the EPA’s energy efficiency programs. When she received the opportunity to return to the world of golf as a WM consultant, she was eager to take her environmental expertise back to the course, drawing upon her previous experiences to solve new challenges in event management.
“I love being able to touch so many different areas of sustainability. We’re trying to decrease methane emissions from food waste, implement recycling programs, and look where we can get renewable energy on site at these events.”
“I love being able to touch so many different areas of sustainability. We’re trying to decrease methane emissions from food waste, implement recycling programs, and look where we can get renewable energy on site at these events,” Veasey said. “We look at sustainability holistically through the lens of golf.”
As a consultant, Veasey coordinates with high-profile events like the PGA Tour’s WM Phoenix Open. Of the tournament, she said, “The sheer size of it is unbelievable. It’s one of the biggest spectator sporting events in the U.S. It’s incredible to see how everyone there is excited about making zero waste happen and willing to participate in such an important effort.”
