The 2017 Distinguished Service to Archer Award is presented to Lauren Hochberg Finkelstein '01
Lauren is a graduate of USC’s School of Cinematic Arts. She is co-founder of LA Blooms, one of Los Angeles’ most coveted floral design companies and a member of Los Angeles’ Alliance of Moms, an organization dedicated to breaking the intergenerational cycle of babies born to teens in the foster care system. Through her leadership and service to Archer we have been able to reach new goals in our projects and programs. Lauren has been a member of the Archer Alumnae Board since 2011 and a member of the Board of Trustees since 2014. She has given to the Archer Fund for 15 years, attends almost every Archer event, and serves as an informed and active ambassador of Archer. She also provides the beautiful flower arrangements for many Archer events- including the June 1 award ceremony. Her dedication to Archer and her advocacy for young women speaks volumes and is a testament to the spirit of giving she fosters within the Archer community and beyond.
