Piper Fellow:
Tami Bohannon

Since 2022, Tami Bohannon has served as President & CEO of Foundation for Senior Living (FSL), where she was appointed the organization’s first female CEO in its 50-year history. FSL programs serve statewide, addressing barriers to quality healthcare and housing with a mission to empower all Arizonans to age with confidence. Over her 30-year career in the nonprofit sector, Bohannon has led with an abundance mindset focused on expanding programs while fostering a culture of philanthropy. She is a certified End of Life Doula, a mentor to young professionals, and serves in volunteer leadership roles with the Governor's Interagency and Community Council on Homelessness and Housing, AARP Arizona, Arizona LeadingAge, and a number of other healthy aging initiatives.

Bohannon’s Fellowship activities will help FSL plan and implement bold, innovative, and sustainable programs that will help support Arizona’s growing older adult population—she sees a need for “disruption and reinvention” of aging services. 

Fellowship highlights include attending Harvard Business School’s Executive Education program and visiting best practice sites, such as Sound Generations in Seattle, that offer an integration of affordable housing and healthcare. Her goal is to come away focused on building strategies that inspire organizational change and drive mission success so all can age with confidence. A secondary goal is to become a joyful role model for active aging by improving her health, wellness, mobility, and stability.
