Raven Fenmore
President/CEO
Having been involved in Pageantry since 1970, Raven Fenmore has been sought out as judge, coach and competitor at the local, state, regional and national level. She studied voice for two years and dance for twelve years. As graduate of Barbizon School of Modeling, she has worked in runway, film and print and was the spokesperson and print model for a chain of Gold’s Gyms from 1994-1997.

She has authored two books, Gavel and Crown as well as a children’s book entitled No Birthday for Aislinn.

Realizing the pageant world was lacking in a program for teens that encompassed talent, community service, and speech as well as the traditional areas of pageant competition, Raven founded the Miss Teen America Scholarship Program in 1994. In the ten years since it’s conception, the Miss Teen America Organization has assisted young women in their quests for a college education as well as careers in the entertainment field.
In addition to her duties as Chief Executive Officer, Raven is the co-Editor and Graphic Designer of Teen America annual magazine. She has been active in Special Olympics at the local and state level, and was named Assistant Coordinator for Celebrity Entertainment for the 1995 Special Olympic World Games in New Haven, Connecticut.
