What or who do you most admire in Sonoma County?

The Leadership Institute for Ecology and the Economy. It's the best use of multi-level marketing we've ever seen! Twenty to thirty individual leaders per year, trained in how to balance our economic, environmental, and social equity issues, are turned out to lead our community into a sustainable future. Every day, LIFEE fellows in local (and state!) government, business, and service sectors utilize what they've learned to move Sonoma County toward sustainability.

What brought you to Sonoma County?

Melanie Bagby was born and raised in Sonoma County. Jeff Bagby is from Blair, Nebraska. Having met in college, we lived in the San Francisco area for several years but moved north to Sonoma County twelve years ago for the quality of life and great potential. We've lived in Cloverdale for 10 years where we enjoy the small town atmosphere, great cycling, and easy access to our customers throughout Sonoma County.
