According to Bowen, “There isn’t another organization where public relations/marketing professionals and editors come together to build professional and personal relationships. Sure, we all discuss trends and story ideas and stay true to the IFEC mission, but we all have fun in the process. I look forward to strengthening and growing IFEC so future members will know how truly lucky they are.”
As an IFEC member for 10 years, Bowen has contributed her creativity, focus, energy and organizational skills to the committees she has served on—New-Member Orientation, Learning Sessions, Scholarship Auction—while expanding her foodservice network.
A native Idahoan and a graduate of Boise State University in business marketing, Bowen has been a tireless promoter of all things Idaho since 2008, particularly the state’s most famous commodity: Idaho® Potatoes.

About the Idaho Potato Commission
Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous “Grown in Idaho®” seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho’s growing season of warm days and cool nights, ample mountain-fed irrigation and rich volcanic soil, give Idaho® potatoes their unique texture, taste and dependable performance. These ideal growing conditions are what differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states. For more information, visit idahopotato.com.
