Ana Hammersley has served previously in key fundraising positions at the Orlando Science Center and the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, both in Orlando, Fla. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Rollins College and received training through its Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership. She and her Hoosier husband recently relocated to the Zionsville area to live near family.

In her new position, Hammersley will develop and manage fundraising campaigns focused on individual donors, including the annual fund and the planned giving program. She will forge new relationships locally and nationwide to expand the donor base for the Center and the Songbook Foundation.

“Ana has the ideal skill set to take our individual giving to the next level,” said Kendra Latta, Vice President of Development. “We’re excited to have her on the team.”
