Dawn Marshall is a Napa native. She briefly left the Napa Valley for a sojourn to Miami, Florida but returned to Napa to begin her professional career. Her first job was in a florist, before moving to high-end hospitality, then winery accounting and for the past 17 years she has been serving in a number of different roles in city government, culminating in the role of Human Resources and Administrative Manager. She is a two time recipient of “Award of Financial Reporting” by the Government Finance Officers Association. When she’s not helping “humans with resources”, she is likely to be gardening, quilting, or arranging items in her home to be more aesthetically pleasing. Dawn is the mother of 3 children – 2 sons and a daughter who all seem to have inherited some of her creative abilities. As a young woman, Dawn went off to purchase her first automobile, a Renault, at a local Napa automobile dealer. While she was unsuccessful in securing her dream automobile, she ultimately walked away with a first date with her now husband of 29 years.

After earning a BA in Accounting from Golden Gate University, Leigh Meyers applied her talents to both public accounting and industry. She is an Enrolled Agent (EA) which is a designation issued by the IRS for tax practitioners who pass their examination and meet other requirements for ongoing training. She has worked with attorneys and vineyard management companies in the Napa Valley and comes to the wine industry with great perspective and an inherited appreciation for farming. Leigh says she was drawn to accounting because of her math skills which have always come easy to her. She works on the tax team and enjoys "untangling messes". She is an equal opportunity animal lover and has two cats and two dogs. When she is not at work, you will find her bicycling around the Napa Valley in what we can only imagine are the most stylish of outfits.

Rebekah Kramer, CPA is a manager at Brotemarkle Davis & Co. specializing in assurance services and business consulting. She is originally from Napa, California and is a Justin-Sienna High School alumnus. She is a graduate of Concordia University, Irvine where she majored in Business Administration with a dual emphasis in Marketing and Accounting. She spent three years working for a Southern California accounting firm before returning to the Napa Valley. While she may not find many opportunities to apply her SoCal yacht-counting expertise (she once had to count yachts docked in ports from San Diego to Newport), her diverse audit skills honed from working with customers in Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, and Real Estate are a big plus. Rebekah first stretched her entrepreneurial muscles when she founded a chapter of co-ed business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, at Concordia. She hopes to apply what she learned not only to her role as an auditor but also to some day opening an animal shelter. When she is not busy auditing, you might find Rebekah exploring a new trail or revisiting one of her favorite national parks – Denali in Alaska. Rebekah is a CPA licensed by the California Board of Accountancy.
