"Leading Frameline for over five years and working with the organization for more than a decade has been the most rewarding experience of my professional career," said Wallace. "I've been continually strengthened by Frameline's Staff, Board of Directors, and constituents who support our work on so many fronts. Above all, I am inspired by the communities that we serve, and the filmmakers that astound us with invigorating, fresh queer content. I'm excited to continue building Frameline's vital outreach programs and to produce Frameline43."

Frameline Board President and AT&T Vice President - Global Business, Michael Colaneri said, "Frances has been a gift to Frameline. She brings perspective leadership, non-profit discipline, and acute fidelity to LGBTQ+ artists and content. We are richly rewarded by her intellectual service, and indebted to the enormous care she's shown and continues to exhibit, even in her long-term departure from Frameline."

Wallace first joined Frameline in 2001, subsequently became the Director of Strategic Partnerships & Senior Programmer, and was then named Executive Director in June 2014. Included in the many highlights from her years of dedicated service:
