Melinger will lead the endowment building campaign for CityArchRiver Foundation’s work as a conservancy. As construction projects reach completion through 2016 and 2017, the Foundation’s focus is now on funding excellent maintenance of the new landscape, activating the park with events and programs, and continuing effective collaborations with CityArchRiver partners. The Foundation announced the completion of its $250 million capital campaign in January 2016.
“It is an honor to join CityArchRiver Foundation at this exciting time,” said Melinger. “I look forward to working with the Foundation and partners to progress the vision of CityArchRiver for future generations. As project components begin to open this year and in 2017, visitors and locals alike will have many reasons to enjoy and return to the city, parks surrounding the Arch, and the riverfront.”
As Associate Director of Development for Athletics, Melinger oversaw the efforts for the W Club Annual Fund as well as capital campaign efforts for the new Gary M. Sumers Recreation Center. Prior to her work at Washington University, Melinger held the position of Development Manager at COCA – Center of Creative Arts.
