SPA ANNOUNCES NEW Director of Institutional Advancement

SPA is pleased to announce the appointment of Sarah Johnson as the school’s new Director of Institutional Advancement. Johnson has been a member of the IA team at SPA since 2009, most recently serving as Senior Development Officer since 2013. She steps into the Director role following the retirement of Dorothy Goldie ’73, who retired in December 2022. Johnson has had a twenty-five year career in nonprofit philanthropy, with roles at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra before joining SPA in 2009. She is also the parent of two SPA alumni in the Class of ’19 and ’22.

At SPA, we find meaning in being together, sharing our successes, and lifting each other up, and supporting the SPA Annual Fund is a way for the entire community to help. Donations enable SPA to advance core priorities and respond to new challenges by providing funding that can be used immediately. Your generosity also supports our faculty in inspiring creativity and critical thinking in our students and creating a community that brings joy to learning.
