Ali Gant has been with GPS since 2019, serving at Chief Advancement Officer. She leads external-facing directors in Development, Admission, Communications and Marketing, Retail Merchandising/The Bow, and Cadek Conservatory of Music.

Prior to moving to Chattanooga from Atlanta, Georgia, Ali held major and planned giving roles with the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, Mercy Care, The Westminster Schools, and the University of Georgia. Her experience includes capital and comprehensive campaign leadership, volunteer management, and alumni relations.

She is currently serving a two-year term as a charter member of Women of UGA, a groundbreaking opportunity for women to connect through philanthropy. Ali is a strong supporter of education in an all-girls environment due to her six summers at Camp Nakanawa for Girls (Crossville, Tennessee) from ages 11-18. While an undergraduate at UGA, she met her husband, Chris (McCallie '97), whose positive experience with single-sex education mirrored hers. Together, they have three boys, the oldest two being identical twins (McCallie ‘26) and the youngest an elementary school student.
