Biography:
This is Ginger Chew’s 13th year at EDS as the Director of Development (she left in 2017 after 10 years and returned in 2022), and she coached cross country and track and field for six years during her original tenure. She loves watching the pride in a young runner as they run farther and faster than they think they can and will set goals for personal growth and improvement for this cross-country season.

She and her husband, Baxley, were EDS parents for 18 years (three children, ages 23, 21, and 16), and outside of work she enjoys running, needlepoint, reading, UGA football and UNC basketball.
