Board of Directors

Franklin Tomorrow is an independent, community-visioning nonprofit created in 2000 by a group of forward-looking business and community leaders to safeguard the attributes that made Franklin special then for future generations. Our mission is to engage the community, foster collaboration, and advocate for a shared vision for the future of Franklin. Through our research, programs and engagement with citizens, that shared vision is for Franklin to be a city with robust neighborhoods, a vibrant economy, distinct character and great people.

With few exceptions residents believe that Franklin offers a high quality of life and they rate this aspect as the most important factor affecting their decision to live in the community. As an organization, we develop and present programs such as our quarterly Breakfast With the Mayors or monthly FrankTalks lecture series which educate and illuminate issues facing the community as a whole. We also take a broader approach to trends and how they could possibly impact Franklin and its residents through our On The Table initiative.

Additional programs like Get Fit Franklin and the Exemplary Community Volunteer Awards engage the community and shine a spotlight on positive aspects of the community.

We invite you to join us at future events and to become engaged in Franklin Tomorrow, but more importantly in your town, Franklin, and with the people who live, work and play here!
