She has more than 30 years of professional fundraising experience.

Fun Fact: Alice is the 90th fundraising professional in the world to earn the Advanced Certified Fundraising Executive (ACFRE) credential.

Alice is recognized for her on-air presence on many public television and radio pledge drives, and fundraising national PBS pledge programs, among them Ken Burns: America’s Storyteller, Downton Abbey, The Civil War, and Financial Solutions for You with Suze Orman, among many others.
