Fundraising is critical to meeting the healthcare needs of those we serve.”
During her career, Zoё has managed several successful fundraising campaigns. She has broad experience including annual giving, major gifts, deferred giving, special events and volunteer board staffing.
“The advancement position at Meridian was attractive to me,” said Zoё, “because I wanted the opportunity to work in the healthcare arena and also to be a part of the leadership team of the organization.”
Meridian’s mission is something she feels strongly about and the organization’s size and structure is such that she can witness firsthand the impact of private support. Zoё graduated from the University of Alabama and has resided in Gainesville since 1994. She and her husband, James Seale, have two children and one grandchild who also live in Gainesville.
