Jennifer Starr
Director of Advocacy & Events
Jennifer Starr is the newest member of the GSABA team, joining as the director of advocacy and special events. Jennifer will help manage the advocacy programs with
the executive vice president and also lead several special events for the Association, including the Spring Tour of Homes, Summit Awards, Million Dollar Circle Awards, Three PAC Fundraiser, Rally Day at the State Capitol, and local, state and national government affairs activities and events as well as supporting all key events for the Association.
Jennifer has a long history in communications, marketing, and events, beginning her career in New York City more than 20 years ago. As a corporate communications executive, she represented major brands from Whirlpool to Johnson & Johnson before settling into a long time position as the communications director for the Central Park Conservancy. Working for one of the country's
largest tourist attractions, Jennifer was instrumental in raising awareness for the need for community support for Central Park to help maintain this oasis for the millions of visitors that came through each year. She also helped produce multiple large-scale events, including the 150th Anniversary of the Park, where she worked in conjunction with the City of New York Parks Department. When she moved to Texas in 2007 to raise her family, Jennifer quickly found a spot for her talents in San Antonio. Since her move, she has had the opportunity to work on significant city milestones such as opening the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and expanding the river with the San Antonio River Foundation. She also spent some time working on the Archdiocese marketing team of San Antonio’s Catholic Schools department to produce their annual Khaki & Plaid Gala. An avid writer and editor, Jennifer has also been instrumental in local magazine writing and production and will be supporting our team with Builder Brief.
