Milton welcomes Lisa Winick as chief advancement officer. Lisa moves to campus and officially begins her new role on July 1. “Lisa’s demonstrated success, her diverse skills, and her long-standing commitment to the mission of education makes her the perfect team member at Milton today, as we begin implementing a groundbreaking strategic planning process, mobilize to deepen the strong support for our School, and develop new resources,” Todd Bland says. “We’re delighted to welcome Lisa to Milton.”
For the past nine years, Lisa has been the director of development at the Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey—a boarding and day school for grades 9–12. As chief fundraiser for Peddie, Lisa has served on the senior administrative team; successfully created and implemented strategies and programs in annual and capital giving to support the school; and led relationship-building initiatives among all of Peddie’s constituencies. Prior to her service at Peddie, Lisa managed diverse advancement programs at Arizona State University, Barnard College and Northwestern Uni-versity related to major capital gifts, donor relations, volunteer efforts and annual giving. Among her commitments outside the Peddie School, Lisa serves as a trustee of the Chapin School, a pre-K to Grade 8 independent school in Princeton, New Jersey.
Lisa earned her bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University and graduated from The Seven Hills School. She and her husband have two children in middle school.
Gordon Sewall, who has served Milton as head of development and alumni relations since 1996, hands the baton to Lisa. Gordon will concentrate on securing the lead gifts crucial to Milton’s Strategic Plan, and continue to serve on the senior administrative team as assistant head of school.
