Jeanette is also the Principal for California Food and Agribusiness Advocates with the mission of improving policy decisions for farmers in water, land use, crop protection tools, and international trade.
In addition to a California EPA State appointment to the Los Angeles Water Quality Control Board and a USDA Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee for Trade appointment, she belongs to and has served on numerous agricultural association boards, including State President for California Women for Agriculture. She is well-experienced in advocating for farmers and ranchers and now will add farmer veterans to her list.
