Anna also leads the NFL’s breast cancer platform, A Crucial Catch, and executes many of the initiatives that fall under NFL PLAY 60, the league’s effort to combat youth obesity across the nation. She launched the NFL’s unified military appreciation campaign, Salute to Service in 2011. She is also responsible for developing and directing corporate social responsibility activities that take place at NFL Draft, Kickoff, Pro Bowl and the Super Bowl.

She is also co-chair of the NFL’s Diversity Council, a committee that oversees many of the league’s diversity-related initiatives such as the NFL’s first employee networking group, the Women’s Interactive Network (WIN).
Prior to joining the NFL, Anna spent five years working in community relations and other capacities for the Brooklyn Cyclones baseball club, minor league affiliate of the NY Mets. At the Cyclones, Anna developed a range of community initiatives and events including the founding of the Brooklyn Baseball Gallery—a small museum dedicated to the history of Brooklyn baseball.
Anna was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She earned a BA in history from Barnard College and now lives in Manhattan with her husband and son.
