FERGUS FALLS JOURNAL — Annie Deckert ’05 has returned to her hometown for the best reason in the world — family.
“My family is one thing,” Deckert said, explaining the decision to bring her talents back to Fergus Falls. “The other is that it’s my hometown.”
The graduate of Fergus Falls Class of 2000 recently assumed the executive directorship of the Greater Fergus Falls Corporation on May 13.
Deckert replaces Bruce Thom in running the economic development group.
Engaging, outgoing and enthusiastic, Deckert brings experience to the job that has caught the eye of more than one Fergus Falls resident and city official.
After graduating with Fergus Falls’ last class of the 20th century, Deckert embraced the new century by earning an Associate of Arts degree at Fergus Falls Community College (now M.State-Fergus Falls). Her first stop after FFCC was St. Cloud State University where she enrolled as a mass communications major. During her time in St. Cloud she discovered an interest in community development.
