Prior to joining the team at Waterside Shops, Anne worked in luxury retailers at Somerset Collection in Michigan, a property owned and managed by The Forbes Company, which also owns and manages Waterside Shops.

And she's been incredibly involved in the communities she's been a part of in the past through her charity work, so I'm sure she'll be an integral part of the Gulf Shore business and philanthropic world in short order. We really couldn't be happier to have her."
