The Boston Foundation has announced the appointment of Betty Francisco to its board of directors.

Francisco and Tracy Palandjian will replace longtime Board Chair Sandra Edgerley and Rev. Gregory Groover, who are both rotating off after 10 years as directors.

“While the Board loses two remarkable leaders in Sandy and Greg, we are fortunate to be joined by new directors the caliber of Betty and Tracy,” said Linda Mason, incoming chair of the board.

“Betty comes to the Foundation with thorough expertise in the critical needs of the region’s communities of color, and Tracy joins us as one of the nation’s preeminent leaders in social and impact investing.

She is a member of the board of trustees of Roxbury Community College, the board of corporators of Eastern Bank, the board of directors of the Greater Boston YMCA and the board of directors of Boston Educational Development Foundation.
