Ann Marie has been recruiting and marketing to adult students for nearly fifteen years. As director of marketing for Northern Arizona University’s Extended Campuses division, Ann Marie led positioning, lead generation, and prospect nurturing for the non-traditional student market. Prior to NAU, Ann Marie served as Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s education center director at Ramstein Air Base.
