John Richmond, Times-Standard

Community in Humboldt is everything--I've never felt more devoted to a place and its people than I do to this one. My own talents and experience are in communications, sales and marketing, and business. These are the tools I can bring to bear to help give back to the community. Humboldt Made offered a perfect opportunity for me to put those tools to good use. Simply: it seemed the smartest way for me to do the most good by our community.

 
 

Meredith Maier, Six Rivers Brewery

Meredith is the proud co-owner, brew house coordinator, and trailblazing beer distributor of Humboldt County’s Six Rivers Brewery. She and her hardworking family of brew masters, kitchen staff, and production crew have been serving up original, high-quality brews, great food, and local entertainment to the people of Humboldt County and beyond. Meredith’s insight and extensive experience with out-of- county marketing has made her a great addition to the Humboldt Made Board of Directors. She cites the Humboldt Made brand as a socially-conscious source of professional inspiration, connection, and incubation, and loves the “community first” approach of its member businesses. Her passion for Humboldt Made comes as no surprise as she has a long track record of involvement Humboldt Community. When she’s not making Six Rivers Brewery a household name, you can find her organizing countless fundraisers for the Sequoia Humane Society, NorCal Pet Rescue, and working as the NorCal Chapter Leader of Pink Boots Society.
