Dayton Performing Arts Alliance names fundraising veteran as new Vice President for Philanthropy

She previously worked at the Dayton Art Institute, DPAA said, where she expanded the institute’s philanthropic support and managed popular fundraising events like Art Ball and Oktoberfest, and prior to that led development efforts at Equitas Health and the Ohio State University’s Wexner Center for the Arts.

She has also served on the boards of the Wright Library Foundation and SICSA, and is a longtime resident of Oakwood, DPAA said.

“She has been a major force behind some of Dayton’s legendary fundraising events,” DPAA President and CEO Patrick J. Nugent said. “Her association with the Dayton Ballet dates back to early childhood, so we are delighted that she has come full circle back to her artistic home at DPAA.”
