Since 2011, when her brother Preston Kendall became President of CRSM, Ann Kendall has been a vital member of the development events committees for Elevate and Founders. She began her involvement by helping to form a fundraising committee, and over the years, she has become one of the most essential contributors to the success of our events.
Ann’s creative vision shapes a majority of the decorations that make our celebrations truly memorable. Her work includes the giant sparkly “20” featured at our 20th Founders’ Dinner and the intricate cardboard TVs that brought a unique charm to our Elevate event. Beyond designing these elements, Ann devotes a great deal of time to sourcing centerpieces, finding the perfect décor items, and assembling them with care on her own time. Her dedication ensures that every detail reflects the spirit of CRSM.
“It feels good knowing that my talents help make a difference,” Ann shared. “CRSM is an amazing place filled with amazing people, and I am always impressed by the talent of the individuals who work and attend school here.”
With a background in marketing and a career in interior design, Ann brings creativity, expertise, and a generous heart to everything she does. CRSM is deeply grateful for her considerable contributions and for the beauty and warmth she brings to our community.
