Winterton has worked in the field of university fundraising development for more than ten years, with previous positions at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana University Foundation, and the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. In addition to major and planned giving, she has managed annual giving programs and corporate and foundation grants, and as a member of the Eskenazi Museum of Art’s senior leadership team, she participates in strategic planning and the management of the museum’s $3.7 million operating budget. Recognizing the importance of public museums, Winterton is also committed to ensuring the accessibility of historically significant art objects, as well as the importance of active interpretation.
