Jeanne Bistranin moved to Summit County just over a decade ago not knowing a soul, but it didn’t take long for Summit locals to get familiar with this newcomer, who was set to lead the Summit Foundation.
Bistranin quickly solidified herself as a champion for working families and a facilitator of critical partnerships that resulted in pioneering initiatives. After a decade serving as the Summit Foundation’s executive director, she plans to hang up her hat on Jan. 31 for retirement.
Before making her way up to Summit County, Bistranin spent the majority of her life in Denver and had no plans to leave. That changed when a friend showed her a job opening at the nonprofit in Summit County. Her resume details the roles she’s played at major philanthropic organizations, including the Adolph Coors Foundation. Her vast experience helped her earn the job, and the decision to hire her proved to be a success.
