Change is in the air at Humboldt Made and it begins with new leadership and a renewed vision. We are thrilled to introduce Rosa Dixon as our Interim Executive Director. With her passion for community-building and extensive experience in business leadership, Rosa is bringing fresh energy and innovative ideas to our organization. As a team, we are embarking on an exciting journey to revitalize Humboldt Made, strengthen our programs, and deepen our impact. This is a time of transformation, and we can't wait to share what's ahead!
Rosa is the CEO and co-founder of Natural Decadence and Raised Gluten Free, a nationally recognized brand in the gluten-free food industry. What began as a grassroots idea right here in Humboldt has grown under her leadership into a multimillion-dollar enterprise, exemplifying her ability to blend innovation with a strong sense of community.
On stepping into her new role, Rosa shared:
“I love Humboldt Made, and I have a strong desire to keep it thriving. The mission of Humboldt Made has always been near and dear to my heart, and now is the perfect time to re-engage with local businesspeople and help grow our community.”
As Interim Executive Director, Rosa is excited to build on Humboldt Made’s mission of supporting local entrepreneurs, creating opportunities for collaboration, and promoting Humboldt County’s unique businesses and products.
Meredith Maier, Humboldt Made Board Member and co-owner of Six Rivers Brewery, added:
“Coming out of COVID, there is so much opportunity for entrepreneurs in our region. Humboldt Made has always served as a springboard for people to launch their ideas, plug in with a supportive community, and network outside of Humboldt County. We are excited to bring on the next evolution of the organization.”
