2023 Board of Directors – Anna Franklin

THANK YOU

Each of our wonderful Board of Directors is so passionate about our community and dedicates their time, talent, and resources towards the fulfillment of our mission. On behalf of our team, those we serve, and our community we thank you for all you do!

Anna Franklin has worked in healthcare for over 25 years, and is currently the Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion officer for the Providence Eastern Washington and Montana region. Anna is a leader with the ability to dissect and articulate the complexities of health inequities. Her deep knowledge of the social and political determinants of health are instrumental in Providence’s efforts to create a more equitable and inclusive society. Anna demonstrates her commitment to opportunity for all and fosters change by serving on a variety of non-profit boards with an emphasis on racial and social justice. Anna holds an MBA from West Texas A&M University, and a bachelor’s from Eastern Washington University in Urban and Regional Planning.

Anna believes in the power of connections and relationships, and is a mentor and champion for local youth — especially young women of color. The board of directors is committed to YWCA Spokane’s vital work as a provider of critical social services in the Spokane region. Community leaders volunteer substantial time, skills, funds and other resources to help the organization carry out its mission to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families and strengthen the Spokane community. Thank you Anna for your amazing work in our community!
