With more than 20 years of experience in nonprofit management with a concentration in fundraising, Shawn Wills has inspired individuals and institutions to invest more than $300 million dollars in charitable causes, ranging from healthcare and women and girls to social services, children, and the arts. In her current role of CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Collin County, Shawn is responsible for the implementation of strategic plans, annual goals and objectives; financial, program and administrative management; and leadership of the organization.
Throughout the course of her career, Shawn has advanced philanthropy and led high-performing teams in her roles as vice president of operations and strategy at Women’s Business Council – Southwest, one of 14 regional partners of Women’s Business Enterprise National Council and the largest certifier of women-owned businesses in the U.S.; senior vice president of development at Texas Women’s Foundation; chief development officer for CitySquare, one of the largest social services organizations in the Dallas, TX area; senior development officer at the world-renown Dallas Symphony Orchestra; director of development for a local children’s social services organization; and manager of volunteer services (managing over 4,000 volunteers annually) at KERA, the local PBS and NPR broadcast stations in the DFW metroplex.

A joyful wife and mother, Shawn and her family have lived, worked, and played in the Frisco community since 2005. When not working or volunteering, you can probably catch her on the sidelines cheering for her two school-age daughters who are active in volleyball, track & field, and basketball with Frisco ISD athletics and local club leagues.
