After fifteen years on the academic side at Peddie School where she served as acting head of school, chair of English department and dean of faculty, Anne became director of development in the early 90’s in time to receive the transforming $100 million gift from Ambassador Annenberg. Under Anne’s guidance, the school successfully completed the largest capital campaign in its history. Anne retired from Peddie in 2003 and is thoroughly enjoying consulting with a wide array of schools and nonprofits on fundraising and strategic planning.
