Ali James grew up in Natchez, Miss., where a reverence for historic preservation and a love of entertaining are practically town requirements. Combine that with 20 years of fundraising experience, and she’s found the perfect home as PRC’s Events and Memberships Manager. Ali lives in Faubourg St. John with her poorly behaved French Bulldog, Clarke, and enjoys riding horses (and the subsequent trips to the emergency room) in her free time.
