Board of Supervisors Appoints Ann Franzen of Bellflower to Commission for Children and Families

Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe announced today that the Board of Supervisors has appointed Ann Franzen of the City of Bellflower to the Los Angeles County Commission for Children and Families.

Franzen is a retired day care provider who worked extensively with Day Care Licensing and the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. As a day care provider, she helped find state money for mothers who could not afford day care and worked with young children that had speech and physical development problems.

“Ann’s significant experience as a child care provider has given her excellent insight into the various issues that children and families go through on a daily basis,” said Supervisor Knabe. “Her knowledge will be a great asset on this important commission.”
