Teddy Foster, campaign director for Universal Preservation Hall (UPH). will be the guest speaker at the Women in Business Annual Fall Luncheon, sponsored by the Chamber of Southern Saratoga County’s Women in Business Committee on Thursday, Oct. 24.
“Persistence Pays” is the theme of the luncheon at the Hilton Garden Inn, Clifton Park.
Registration and a pre-reception runs from 11-11:45 a.m.. followed by the luncheon and presentation from noon to 1:30 p.m.
Foster will share her journey starting as a long-time, dedicated volunteer for UPH to her current role as campaign director. Her resolve and personal conviction to achieve a complete building restoration has UPH within close reach of a lofty fundraising goal.
In 2006, she joined the UPH board of directors. With the UPH-Proctors affiliation announcement in 2015, she resigned from the board and was hired as the campaign director for the $5.5 million capital campaign to complete the restoration of the building.
A native New Yorker, she grew up in Fishkill.
Universal Preservation Hall is located at 25 Washington St.
