The Fort Worth Zoo said it named Alice Pritchett its director of development, seeking to "strengthen long-term development opportunities and bolster donor and community outreach."
Pritchett worked in the Admissions office of Trinity Valley School for nine years, and most recently was director of admissions and financial aid. Pritchett was responsible for the school’s enrollment process, and management and disbursement of the financial aid budget.
Pritchett joins the Zoo in the middle of its $100 million capital campaign and building project, A Wilder Vision. The first phase, African Savanna, opened in April 2018. The second, Elephant Springs, opened this spring. The third, Hunters of Africa and Asian Predators, is scheduled to open in 2023. A Wilder Vision encompasses a mission for conserving the animal kingdom and educating and motivating future leaders.
“We are excited to have Alice on board, leading the Zoo’s development program,” Mike Fouraker, the Zoo executive director, said. “Her institutional sales and market research experience adds value to our leadership team, and we look forward to continuing to build relationships among our community partners and stakeholders.”
Pritchett earned a Bachelor of Arts from the Plan II Honors Program and an MBA from the McCombs School of Business, both from the University of Texas at Austin.
Pritchett has served on the boards of the Junior League of Fort Worth, The Kupferle Health Board of the Texas Health Resources Foundation, and the Young Men’s Service League.
