Our Team
Marnie Primmer, Executive Director
Marnie joined the Board of Directors in 2019. She stepped down in April 2021 to serve as CTF’s Interim Executive Director, and was appointed to the permanent Executive Director role in October 2021. A longtime supporter of CTF, she has attended and volunteered at many CTF-hosted events over the past decade and strongly believes in the mission of the Foundation.
Mallory Fites, Director of Operations
Mallory is the backbone of CTF. She has served the Foundation since 2013, and is the behind-the-scenes guru making sure our signature events and programs run smoothly. Mallory works closely with scholarship coordinators and applicants to ensure that reviewers and students get what they need. She is also the first point of contact for those experiencing a loss, helping them to set up memorial funds and fill out grant request forms.
