Kenda Tanner graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. Starting her career with Mobil Oil she ended up being assigned to the department that accounted for natural gas in the Rocky Mountain region. This endeavor led her to the beautiful state of Wyoming where she met her husband, Bill, and decided to settle in Big Piney. Following a 17-year career as an insurance agent for Farm Bureau Financial Services she eventually decided to retire in order be more available to her two very active children, Jak and Grace, and also have time to volunteer and give back to the community that has treated her so well. While she has sat on many boards, it is the time she has spent sitting on the board of the Sublette Center that she deems most valuable. Living in a small rural community allows one to see the real importance of being able to provide necessary services to our aging family and friends without having to travel 100 miles or more. She also feels strongly that the need to successfully provide all healthcare services is crucial when living in rural Wyoming which is why she worked to promote the creation of a Hospital District and also build a Critical Access Hospital with a new Long Term Skilled Nursing facility. She believes the citizens of Sublette County deserve a healthcare system that supports individuals and families, including the elderly, in achieving their best health and overall quality of life.
