Francea Phillips has been leading us for over twenty eight years as our President and CEO. A fourth generation Longmontian, she previously owned a marketing, advertising and event planning agency. She embraces change and challenges like a champion, putting her prior experience to great use here at Meals on Wheels of Boulder. Francea loves learning and says, “I’m inspired every time I read a ‘white paper’ or find a study on new techniques or new ways of doing things. I love attending workshops that introduce new ideas and new ways of thinking.” In her spare time (what’s that?), she loves to travel. She’s also part of a group called the Walkie Talkies who hike around the lake in her neighborhood. She loves humor and comedy — the lighter side of life! What’s Francea’s favorite thing about working at Meals on Wheels of Boulder? “Every day is a new challenge and definitely a new adventure. It’s never boring. The daily challenges require on-the-spot decision making. Helping people is what it’s all about.”
