Jill Franklin

With over a decade of experience in event coordination, Jill Franklin brings a wealth of expertise to her role as Education and Meeting Manager at SDPA. Her career began in higher education, where she coordinated student activities, including multiday leadership retreats, community programs, and loved university traditions. Most recently, Jill managed philanthropic and donor-centric events for a regional healthcare foundation and was recognized as a Smart Meetings 2023 Rising Star.

Beyond her professional achievements, Jill is an active volunteer, serving on the board of her local library and contributing to her national sorority, Sigma Sigma Sigma.

She also cherishes quality time with her husband and their two beloved dogs.
