Prior to Rose Community Foundation, Shawna worked at the Boulder Jewish Community Foundation and Boulder JCC. Shawna moved to Colorado from Washington, D.C., where she had worked for Congressman Tom Allen on environmental and energy issues. Shawna’s commitment to promoting social change and the health of our communities was nurtured by her early experience as a City Year Corp member in Boston, Massachusetts, prior to attending Vassar College. Shawna is deeply committed to generational issues and is actively helping to add to the next, and as yet, unnamed generation, as she and her husband welcomed their first child last fall.
