OUR BOARD
Like many food businesses and organizations, we are rebuilding after the impact of the pandemic! Would you like to join us as we strive to provide a community for food professionals in this new era?

Wendy Louise Nog
PRESIDENT
Wendy’s experience growing up “off-the-grid” eating from her family’s organic garden gave her a strong connection to the earth and the foods that grow from it. As the owner of Future Bright, a boutique website design and digital agency in Marin, she works with restaurants, chefs, and food businesses to bring their creations to the digital space. Her love for design inspired her to launch North Bay Fork, an online magazine that focuses on beautiful food at beautiful restaurants.
