Dawn Agnew 
As General Manager for Eco-Terreno Wineryâs SF Tasting Room & Supper Club, I also represent the Jackson Square Merchants on the BCNA Board. I see a common thread woven through the fabric of my work in hospitality and neighborhood organizations. Building community through service, intentionality, and fun has been my motto! I have worked in SF for decadesâas a manager at the Ritz Carlton, and then building a new restaurant with Gary Danko. I look forward to working with BCNA and other organizations to revitalize neighborhood-serving retail.
