- Anne invents, develops and produces multimedia research and educational programs for urban and rural, multi-ethnic and international audiences and products for exhibition, instruction, entertainment and public media. These include, in 1977 in Peru, the first multi-media study of the culture of children. A pilot project, it has now expanded into a longitudinal international child, community and human development program that reduces violence by fulfilling the needs that precede it and by healing the trauma that follows it.

- Myrna Faulds, Special Projects,
- As the principal at BioExpressions, a graphic design business serving the biotech/hi-tech market, Myrna has been involved in all aspects of print and web design — from media buying to CD-ROM development — as well as being directly responsible for coordinating print and web development projects with several Fortune 500 marketing teams. A self-starter with a commitment to delivering exceptional customer service, Myrna has organized and directed a variety of production teams for projects ranging from print to CD-ROM to web development. She has used those skills to further the professional development of her fellow designers/developers by creating and directing the Job Connections SIG for the NBMA.
- Myrna Faulds background includes ten years of design and production experience in print and web development. Myrna studied graphic design production at the University of California, Berkeley Extension, and multimedia/authoring systems, interface design, 3-D animation and graphic design at the College of Marin. She has a B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Microbiology from San Francisco State University.
- Glenn Hummel, NBMA Webmaster,
 Glenn worked for many years in the medical diagnostic field before deciding to focus solely on the artistic path. He has degrees in Creative Writing and Art, with an emphasis in Photography, plus earning a certificate from SFSU’s Multimedia Studies Program. His first foray into Multimedia was to project images and words synchronized to a sound track of his field recordings.- It is a natural progression for Glenn to move to the digital platform. He is currently focusing his attention on Flash because of its potential for design elements and the deep flexibility offered through its scripting language.
- Julie Smith, Best of the North Bay Webmaster; Big Event Caterer; Gourmet Crew Leader,
- Julie is a Website Developer, designing and building corporate and e-commerce Websites for her company, Polaris Interactive (www.polarisinteractive.com). In other lives, she worked as a graphic designer, owned and operated a home textiles manufacturing operation, and had her own business as a Contract Interior Designer with projects in the Midwest, Florida and Ecuador.
- Julie has been an active member of the North Bay Multimedia Association since 1997. She designed, built, and maintains the “Best of the North Bay” Web site.
- A lover of cooking and good food, Julie gets her kicks in the kitchen monthly when she prepares the food for NBMA General Meetings.
- Marc Tanenbaum, ActionScript Salon Leader,
- Marc believes strongly in the ‘multi’ side of the multimedia equation. He couples expert Flash/Actionscript coding skills with abilities in design, writing, film-making, photography and editing. Through sfmultimedia, his independent website firm, he’s developed dozens of websites, presentations and games, and played key creative roles in several short-subject films.
- As much as he enjoys creating, Marc is equally eager to teach and share his expertise with others. He began doing this while still learning Flash: before the end of his first semester, he became de facto teaching assistant, helping his fellow students understanding the ways of Actionscript. Since then, he has taught Actionscript to hundreds of students through the classroom, the web forum he moderates, and through private tutelage.
- With NBMA for three years, Marc worked first as Web SIG leader, and later as head of the Actionscript Salon (working the two simultaneously for almost a year). Through the Salon, Marc charts the sometimes treacherous waters of Actionscript by delving into it one aspect at a time, drawing parallels between these aspects whenever possible.
- Michael Wanger, Special Projects,
 Award winning film, video and multimedia producer, Michael Wanger, specializes in programs for business, education and entertainment. He has produced medical education programs, training and marketing videos for corporations such as Memorex, Wells Fargo Bank and Silicon Graphics, and played an integral part in the development of several CD-ROM and DVD titles.- Michael’s music programs appear frequently on PBS, and he has garnered three Emmy nominations. He has produced music, documentary and interactive programs for Grateful Dead Records and is a speaker and moderator for industry conferences. Michael was named by AV Video Multimedia Producers magazine as one of the Top 100 Producers of 2001.
