Marian Myszkowski is a creative, self-starter with over 25 years of leadership experience managing programs, fundraising, communications, and special events in nonprofit organizations.
Myszkowski brings a solid knowledge of our local food system and serves on the Agriculture Resources Committee for Island County, with a mission to "advocate, educate, and build connections to support Island County’s farmers, ranchers, food processors, and other agricultural entities." Through her position at Goosefoot, she serves as a project manager for a shared, incubator commercial kitchen that will help generate new and expanded value added food business on Whidbey. As such, Myszkowski is “quite familiar with food processing safety regulations - cottage foods vs. WSDA food processing vs. local county responsibility - and believes that food safety must come first.”
Myszkowski said her vision for a healthier future for Island County is “A resilient, local food system - providing a variety of healthy, locally grown and processed food that's available year-round - is crucial to food security, especially for a rural island[s] like Whidbey [and Camano].”
