Plan NH is excited to welcome Anna Wells to the Plan NH team in the role of Program Coordinator! A resident of Hopkinton, NH, Anna most recently served as the Town’s Economic Development Director for more than three years. She is committed to improving community vibrancy and well-being by fostering a sense of place and belonging, and it is those personal beliefs that make her an ideal fit for Plan NH.
“I am thrilled to have Anna join our team – it is easy to see her passion for planning and community development,” said Tiffany Tononi McNamara, Executive Director for Plan NH. “As we continue to work with communities throughout the Granite State, Anna’s diverse experience will be beneficial in supporting our organization’s goals and initiatives.”
As Program Coordinator, Anna will play a key role in supporting Plan NH’s programs and membership services, ensuring the seamless execution of events and fostering strong, lasting relationships with members. In addition to these responsibilities, she will also contribute to Plan NH’s ongoing efforts with the InvestNH Housing Opportunity Planning Grant program, helping to advance its mission and initiatives.
Before moving to Hopkinton in 2017, Anna’s work experience included graphic design and landscape architecture, urban ecology education and planning, and teaching yoga. She received her Master in City Planning (MCP) degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2006, and her Bachelor of Science from Smith College in Biological Sciences in 2001. Together with her family, including her 16-year-old-son and 11-year-old daughter, she tends to the cattle, horses, chickens, dogs, and gardens on their small farm. Anna loves to gather and cook good food with friends, and ski and hike in the woods near her house.
