Shelby Trimm joined the team as Executive Director in April of 2020. As a Brawley native, her passion for agriculture was instilled in her at an early age. Upon graduating from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Agricultural Education, Shelby returned to the Imperial Valley and began her role. Her favorite part of her position is being able to represent the vegetable industry on important issues.
