Our Board of Directors
Michele Rowe, Board Chair
Michele Rowe has been a past recipient of and current donor to food banks for over 20 years. She believes that feeding people and gathering around tables with no edges are sacred practices for building community.
Jackie Miles, Vice Chair
Jackie was excited to move to Golden in 2017, but is originally from Ontario with a pit stop in Alberta before she continued west. She is a librarian with years of experience working with newcomers at Calgary Public Library, who is now fortunate enough to work from home and enjoy mountain life. She is an enthusiastic supporter of food banks and excited to be able to give back to her new community as a part of this board.
Nicole Carter, Treasurer
Originally from Southern Ontario, Nicole has called Golden her home for the past decade. Working in the customer service industry in such a small town, formerly as a restaurant server and currently as the financial services officer for the local Credit Union, has allowed Nicole to grow lasting relationships with a large part of the community and believes the Food Bank to be the perfect way to give back to a community that has provided so much for her.
Monica De, Secretary
After visiting Golden in 2003, and discovering how great the people, the ski resort and the mountain bike trails are, her and her husband decided to make Golden home. Since becoming a literacy coordinator for the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) in 2007, she has connected with the Golden Food Bank Society to promote community resources and educational programs for clients. Monica looks forward to working more closely with the Food Bank and helping people in need in our community.
