Q&A: Ellen Fort, Dir. Development & Marketing
Q: Tell us a little about your background.
A: I was born and raised in Nashville, TN; attended Agnes Scott College in Atlanta; spent my junior year studying in England; and graduated with an English and Creative Writing degree. I've lived in North Carolina since the early 1980s (Whiteville, Charlotte, Raleigh and Winston-Salem). My professional experience has been in a variety of organizations where I could grow my skills in writing, editing, special events, fundraising and more. Some organizations I've worked with include SAFEchild, Rex Healthcare, First Citizens Bank, Salem Academy and College, the NC Symphony and NC Opera. I live in Raleigh; enjoy a blended family of two sons (Germany, S. Korea) and two daughters (Raleigh and Philadelphia); and cherish three grandchildren ages 8 months, three and six.
