Alice Ferris

Development Director

Alice Ferris has served as KAWC's Development Director since January 2006. She has more than thirty-five years of professional fundraising experience, not including her start as the "human bubble machine" during Lawrence Welk pledge breaks at Wisconsin Public Television in Madison, Wisconsin.

In addition to her work with KAWC, she is frequently spotted on PBS stations throughout the country and on Arizona PBS (Phoenix) and Arizona Public Media (Tucson) during pledge drives. She has been national pledge talent for several Masterpiece series, the PBS NewsHour, Nature, and NOVA. 

At KAWC, Alice manages philanthropic giving, pledge drives, grants, special events, strategic planning, and "other duties as assigned." Alice is also the voice of all the underwriting spots and PSAs you hear. In addition, she is the KAWC webmaster because she learned to program in BASIC on an Apple IIc in 5th grade and has been a bit of a geek ever since.
