Most Influential Bostonians of 2025

→ $959 million economic impact in 2024
→ $95 million annual operating budget

Hired last year for the quasi-public post once held by Jim Rooney (see #27), Vernon oversees both Boston convention centers and the popular Lawn on D, among other well-loved city spots. He now plays a leading role in the flow of visitors through Boston—and their spending. One of his big tasks is to ensure the wealth gets spread equitably to local minority- and women-owned businesses; this commitment to equity is why Sheena Collier (see #79) cochaired the selection committee that hired him.

Save That Stuff Tour

The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) and its partners from ABM had the opportunity to tour Save That Stuff in Charlestown, MA. Founded in 1990 by Erik Levy, Save That Stuff is a waste collection facility that offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional waste disposal methods. Save That Stuff helps educational and governmental institutions like the MCCA uphold commitments to corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and cost control. The MCCA has worked with Save That Stuff for 10 years to reduce our convention centers’ recyclable waste. In a typical year, the MCCA recycles an average of 774 tons between the Hynes and the BCEC with Save That Stuff!

Testimonial

"The outside marque at the BCEC not only added excitement around our event but it attracted buzz in the surrounding community and drew the attention of the media who put photos of the digital display in their press articles about our event!"

Testimonial

“There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a city-kid on a boat for the first time — smiling, confident, and amazed after catching their first fish. To keep our program running, we rely on the generosity and support of programs like the MCCA’s Community Partnership Grants. Their commitment to community programs, particularly youth programs, makes our small operation and all those smiles possible.”

- John Hoffman, Fishing Academy, Brighton, MA
