Now in her 13th season as co-owner of the Peoria Rivermen, Anne Griffith has also worked for Lincoln Farm Corporation, a family-owned business, for 23 years. She is now vice president of Lincoln Farm Corporation and uses her BBA and MBA degrees in both of her professional endeavors.
Griffith is a current member of the Advisory Council for Bradley University’s College of Education and Health Sciences and an original member of the Braves Scholarship Society, which helps support Bradley athletes. In the past, she was an active volunteer with Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure, Junior League of Peoria and the St. Jude Midwest Affiliate.
In her spare time, Griffith enjoys jet skiing on the Illinois River, but notes that Asian carp have made this hobby a bit more dangerous in the past few years. She is also an avid swimmer and tries to get to the pool every day. When time and weather permit, Griffith also spends time on the golf course. She uses her basement wine cellar as an excuse to collect wines in pursuit of the “jewel” of all wines at an affordable price and says that “wine is best experienced with friends!”
