Our Board

Karan has been involved with our board for over a decade. She has served as chair twice, stepping in through tough organizational transitions and steering us through unprecedented times. She recently celebrated 25 years with Chateau Montelena. As export manager, her vast professional experience, immersed knowledge of Napa Valley culture, and dedication to her community make her a perfect fit for our working board. She also dedicates her time to Soroptimist International of Calistoga, Calistoga Little League, and Calistoga Cares Food Pantry.

Jamie is thrilled to be a part of Celebrate Napa Valley and has been enamored with Calistoga's hometown parade scene both from her front porch on Cedar street with family and neighbors, and by participating with Nimbus Arts’ kids created floats for almost 30 years. Jamie brings a passion for arts and education, in her role as Executive Director of Nimbus Arts Community art center. After graduating with a degree in Enology and Marketing from UC Davis, she had careers as a winemaker, and a business owner before co-founding Nimbus in 2005. Working with a core group of local artist-instructors, Nimbus has become a cornerstone arts organization whose diverse programming includes classes, camps, NIMBASH, and a wide array of community outreach activities for all ages.
