Francie Fortune
Executive Director

Francie joined the SunCatcher family in the fall of 2021.  Her original plan to volunteer as an equine caregiver changed within the first two weeks, and she joyfully accepted the position of Executive Director. Francie's background in ranch management, hospice and geriatric care giving, marketing, and wellness education all have prepared her to serve SunCatcher as we grow forward to serve more within our Black Hills community.
