Tricia Lewis serves as the Operations and Governance Director at the Mankato Area Foundation (MAF). She began her career with MAF in 2015 as an Executive Assistant and has since taken on increasingly significant roles, aligning with the organization’s impressive growth. Prior to her time at MAF, she gained valuable experience in customer service and retail sales, which provided a solid foundation for her range of responsibilities at MAF.

Holding both an associate’s and a bachelor’s degree, Tricia is currently pursuing a master’s degree in philanthropy and nonprofit management. Committed to her personal and professional growth, she is also proud to be a graduate of the Greater Mankato Leadership Institute and the Minnesota Young American Leader Program.

Beyond her day-to-day, Tricia enjoys giving back to the community, lending her time to fellow nonprofit organizations. She currently serves as the Chair of CityArt and has previously volunteered with organizations such as YWCA Mankato and Feeding Our Communities Partners.

Originally from Racine, Wisconsin (Go Pack!), Tricia moved to the Mankato area with her family in middle school and has since made it her home. In her spare time, she enjoys activities such as gardening, playing in a local dart league, and spending quality time with friends and family. At home, she shares her sanctuary with two beloved cats, Milo and Mavis, who offer endless entertainment.
