Janeen Murray is the Director of Sonoma County GO LOCAL, a marketing network of more than 400 Sonoma County businesses, non-profits, and government agencies. GO LOCAL provides economic development marketing to help increase awareness about the importance of going local, to drive more market share to locally owned businesses and strengthen our local economy.
