Environmentalism

On November 7, 2002, Seaman helped to launch PhillyCarShare a non-profit carsharing organization in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2] PhillyCarShare has been one of the most successful, fastest-growing carsharing programs.[2] It is seen as a national model in both the environmental and non-profit sectors. Seaman helped develop the innovative program with the City of Philadelphia to use PhillyCarShare cars as fleet cars for city workers.[3]

Her leadership made her one of the Philadelphia Business Journal's "40 Under 40" to watch in the city of Philadelphia.[4]

Background

Seaman holds a degree in design from the University of California, Davis. After working in the field of architecture for several years, she left her home state of California to earn a Masters in City and Regional Planning at the University of Pennsylvania.[5] Seaman attempts to live as sustainable a lifestyle as possible: she does not own a car and eats a vegan diet.
