Adam Gray, Board Member & Interim Treasurer
Adam manages multiple H&R Block sites in Illinois and has extensive budgeting, investment and financial management experience. He has led major investment decisions through customer negotiation, internal appraisal and approval, legal agreement and practical implementation for companies such as Castle Leisure. He also helped accelerate growth through prudent investment management of Scotland’s largest independent operators, including Saltire Taverns.
Adam strives to bring Shared Harvest through the final stages to open for the Elgin area community. He believes Shared Harvest will bring more people to downtown Elgin and will encourage an engaged community, while providing local, healthy and sustainable food options. Over the past year, he has also started expanding his cooking skills and eating more plant-focused, organic meals - and has seen the overall health benefits.

Brigitte Nobs, Board Member
Brigitte has lived in Elgin for 30 years. Her first 10 years in the Gifford Park Historic district of which she is a lifetime member. She has served on the GPA board as an officer. For 10 years Brigitte has hosted the homeowners brunch for the Elgin Historic House Tour, and has been a small business owner for 16 years. Brigitte and her family enjoy their neighborhood very much. The opportunity to improve Elgin by bringing a co-op into the downtown with locally grown food is appealing, and therefore she wants to be actively involved in the Shared Harvest effort to make this happen.

Mark Novelli, Board Member
Mark and his wife Aimee and have lived and owned their business, Imago, in Elgin for over 10 years. They moved to Elgin because of its deep history, artistic community, diverse population and city-feel. They love this community and have chosen to raise their family here. Whenever they can, they get to know and support the owners of local business, especially in downtown Elgin. Buying local is something they try to live out, with a desire to see Elgin become an even more thriving community. Mark & Aimee started focusing on healthy eating when their twins were born. Out of a desire for them to lead the healthiest lives possible, they read books and watched films to educate themselves. When possible, they seek to buy organic, local grown, non GMO items. So when the vision for Shared Harvest started - a place to buy healthy food, located in our community, supporting local farmers - it aligned so well with their passions. |
