Rachel Wright is not your ordinary soccer mom. She has been named one of the "Most Remarkable Women" on ABC's The View and has been featured as an expert on The Today Show, sharing her sage advice with millions of women. Rachel has been highlighted in Glamour magazine for her philanthropic advances and was recognized for her ongoing community endeavors as one of the "Eckerd 100 Outstanding National Volunteers." Her versatile background has made her a go- to Mom expert, where she has been quoted in publications ranging from The Wall Street Journal to American Baby magazine. In the spring of 2007 Rachel founded National Mom's Night Out, an extremely successful campaign, to encourage moms to take time off from the kids and celebrate who they are besides being a mom. Rachel is the author of Bye-Bye Boardroom: Confessions From A New Breed of Stay-At-Home Moms and Mom's Night Out: Even Inmates Get Time Off for Good Behavior.

Armed with a B.S. degree in communications from Florida State University, she embarked on a career filled with a myriad of experiences. Rachel's initial position was as a program coordinator for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. It was here that her passion for helping others was cultivated. She then worked as a field marketing manager for consumer goods giant, E & J Gallo Winery. Rachel was in charge of recruiting, training, and marketing for five Gallo distributors in the state of Florida. From the world of wine, she moved to the financial services arena, where she was an assistant vice president with Merrill Lynch in the Private Client Group. She managed investment portfolios for corporations and affluent individuals with combined assets totaling more than $250 million and helped her clients successfully reach their financial goals. While achieving a burgeoning bank account, Rachel felt something was missing in her life. Recognizing the profound impact her non-profit experience had provided and lessons it had taught her, she co-founded The Golden Rule Foundation, a children's charity dedicated to inspiring children to give to others. She spearheaded a movement that provided elementary school children with hands-on community service projects so they could realize the pivotal role they are capable of playing in our society. She spent the next five years at the helm of The Golden Rule Foundation as the executive director.

It is Rachel's current position, however, that is her most challenging and provides her with the bulk of her "material." She's an entrepreneurial mom with two beautiful children. Her dreams for the future are to keep others around her laughing and to have her children grow into motivated, competent adults who require as little therapy as possible.

This year, Green Halloween became a program of EcoMom Alliance and Lynn and Corey also declared October 9, National Costume Swap Day in order to bring recognition to the value (and fun) of swapping costumes instead of buying new.
