You may hear “California public benefit corporation,” but what local group SFMADE actually advocates for is local manufacturing that makes good economic sense. Enter an event series that includes manufacturing best practices and marketing tips for companies with local roots. This Thursday, Rickshaw Bags founder and former Timbuk2 head Mark Dwight will speak in the Dogpatch about branding locally made products. You may not yet know anything about “geographic ingredient branding,” but pride of place is certainly familiar to this site’s kind readers.

I saw the Executive Director Kate Sofis speak at SPUR a few weeks ago and they are doing fantastic work.
Hi Emily. Thanks for mentioning the event. Hope to see you there.
