Her energy and passion for Anne Fontaine’s fashions are magnetic. Women from around the world want to shop with Anna.

She has created a career dedicated to encouraging women to do well. Her mother is her inspiration and the light that has guided her to achieve greatness. Everyone loves to be with Anna.
For Anna, “It’s all about giving back.” Her love of giving and her caring spirit have touched everyone in the community. And her passion for contributing to many charities with her special events and scintillating fashion shows has helped many different non-profits.
Anna’s work with charities mainly involves creating high-end fashion shows with Anne Fontaine’s beautiful clothing.

Anna is now co-chair of the 2022 St. Jude’s Hospital for Children fundraiser and will be doing the Fashion Show on September 10th at the Las Vegas Ballpark. “I am very passionate about helping all foundations in our community, but this one is very close to my heart!”

Anna was featured in Chic Compass magazine as a woman Full of Grace in 2021 and received the Athena Leadership Award in 2022.
Always up to something helpful, what’s up next for Anna Stewart Billings? A book signing with Janice Marie Wilson.
Janice Marie Wilson has written a delightful children’s book for her grandchildren, called Eliana, Where Do Thoughts Come From? Janice’s belief in the importance of reading to small children each day led her to create this playful, fun, and entertaining book for bedtime and use in therapy or the classroom. This book is filled with impactful insights leading children to think about their thoughts and how those thoughts help guide their lives.
Since her stroke in early 2022, Janice’s book about thoughts has become more meaningful, and she is delighted to share her book with everyone. Her delightful book is a successful way for parents and grandparents to speak openly to their small loved ones about the importance of ideas and words. Don’t miss getting your copy!
