Mary Craig Tennille is Summit School's Director of Annual Giving and Stewardship since 2015. Her philosophy that "fundraising is about cultivating relationships for long-term investment," as well as her commitment to Summit's mission of inspiring learning, align perfectly with the strategic direction of the Advancement Office.

Mary Craig has worked in a fundraising capacity for more than 15 years at organizations including The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and most recently at Excalibur Advancement Services. She currently serves on the board of Reynolda House Museum of American Art and holds memberships with Rotary Club of Winston-Salem, Association of Fundraising Professionals, Friends of Brenner Children's Hospital, and Dogwood Garden Club. In 2013 Mary Craig was a recipient of the Triad Business Journal's 40 Under 40 award. She and her husband Andy have two children.
