The DuPage Community Foundation is pleased to announce the addition of Nancy Hermann to its Professional Advisors Committee and Sally Winger to its “Bright & Early DuPage” Initiative Sub-Committee.
Nancy Hermann is a senior vice president and trust managing director for The Private Client Reserve of U.S. Bank. She has an extensive background in complex estate administration, trust asset allocation and managing private foundations. She recently joined the Foundation’s Professional Advisors Committee.
Hermann received her master’s degree in finance and marketing from DePaul University, Chicago. She also earned a bachelor’s of arts degree in economics from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.
A member of the DuPage County Estate Planning Council and the Chicago Estate Planning Council, Hermann has also volunteered and served in leadership roles for the board of trustees for the Naperville Public Library and North Central College. She has also served as a volunteer mentor for East Aurora Kids Hope USA. She is a resident of Naperville and enjoys biking, hiking, and traveling with family and friends.
Sally Winger is a retired elementary school teacher and recently joined the Foundation’s “Bright & Early DuPage” Initiative Committee.
“I was reading about the ‘Bright & Early DuPage’ program in the newspaper and thought I should be an advocate for it,” said Winger. “I made a call to the Foundation, and now I am volunteering and getting involved.”
Winger taught in Addison Public School District #4 for many years in its At Risk Preschool Program (later named the Preschool Enrichment Program.) When Program funding was no longer available from the state and the District discontinued the program, she taught kindergarten-aged children with Individual Education Plans (IEP). She taught in Addison for more than 22 years before retiring.
A graduate of the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana with a degree in business, Winger lives in Lombard with her two children, Krista and Justin, and her sister. She is involved with the Habitat for Humanity DuPage ReStore in Addison.
