Frances honed her skills through thirty years of public sector experience including twenty years as Chief Executive Officer for a Council of Governments in North Texas. 

The organization served over fifty local governments and a policy board of thirty elected officials,  administering up to $14M in federal and state grants per year with 70-80 employees.
