Mentors and Board Members

Shaping business innovation and community in the valley.

Rob Wotton

President

As a business banker, I’ve dedicated myself to connecting people and fostering stronger businesses. Over five years ago, with Umpqua Bank’s support, I founded the Umpqua Community Room—a unique space for collaboration.

This led to The Business Workshop, a monthly gathering for sharing ideas, and eventually to the Sno-Valley Innovation Center, a nonprofit committed to helping startups and businesses adapt and grow.

Today, through the BizCast Forum, we’re expanding our reach, providing businesses with the technical resources they need—no matter where they are.

Sally Mayo

Secretary

With a passion for packaging and product development, my career has spanned roles with Hallmark, Gibson Greetings, Jeanmarie Creations, and Eddie Bauer. My experience also took me to Shanghai, where I worked with local and expat customers while managing health and wellness retail stores.

Back in Seattle, I embraced nonprofit work—serving on the Snoqualmie Arts Commission, the Dream Dinners Foundation, and leading the Preston Food Bank. Now, as a SnoValley Innovation Center board member, I’m excited to share my expertise in creative packaging and product development to support growing businesses.
