Appointed to the Manchester Community Library Board in 2020, Fran Fauver serves on the Governance and Finance Committees. Fran moved to Vermont from Chatham, New Jersey in 2018 where she and her husband Chip resided for thirty years.
Fran received a B.A. from the College of the Holy Cross. After a short stint in the non-profit world in New York City, Fran went into sales, initially in the software and computer business, and later in finance on Wall Street.
Prior to moving to Manchester full-time in 2018, Fran actively volunteered in many community organizations including the PTO of the Chatham’s, the Library of the Chatham’s, as well as the Municipal Alliance Counsel for the education and prevention of substance abuse. In addition to her volunteer duties, Fran devoted her energies to the restoration of their 100-year old house which won the first preservation award from the Chatham Historical Society in 2010. Since moving to Manchester, Fran has enjoyed volunteering at MCL with the children’s programs and special events. She also serves on the design review board for her homeowners association.
Fran and Chip have three sons and a daughter-in-law, and all live close to each other in the Bay area of California, making visiting very convenient. In her free time, Fran enjoys reading, traveling, gardening, cooking and hiking. Fun fact: Kate Orme, the President of the Manchester Community Library Board, and Fran swam on the same swim team in grade school. Neither one of them has any recollection of the other……it was fifty-plus years ago!
