The Dispatch
Midway native Katie Hall marvels at her professional surroundings. The 29-year-old is the picture of elegance sitting in a side office at the Hanesbrand Theatre and the headquarters of the Arts Council for Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, where she was just named the Chief Advancement Officer for the arts nonprofit.
Hall s office is less than 12 miles from where she grew up in the politically and religiously conservative northern Davidson County community, but it feels worlds away to her. It s almost an out-of-body experience for the small-town girl who couldn t even dream as a teenager she could have of such a career.
