Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Natalie Seeboth as interim chief development officer for the College of Fine Arts, effective Sept. 1. As we continue our search for a new CDO, Natalie will be assuming responsibilities for Sondra Lomax, who is retiring at the end of this month.
Natalie joined our Dean’s Office team as the director of development for major gifts in March 2023. She has been responsible for cultivating donors in the Houston area and on the East Coast, and she now also serves as the development liaison for the Longhorn Band. Natalie has over 14 years of fundraising experience with various nonprofits in Austin, and she brings vast knowledge of development operations and major gift experience working with individuals, corporations and foundations. She’s held key development positions with LIVESTRONG, the Ann Richards School Foundation, the Paramount Theatre and, most recently, Conspirare, the Grammy Award–winning professional choir.
She is a proud alumna of the College of Liberal Arts at The University of Texas at Austin. She earned her Certified Fund Raising Executive credential in 2021, demonstrating her commitment to the highest standards of fundraising practice. Beyond her professional work, she has contributed her expertise to the community as a past board member of the Austin Public Library Foundation, a member of Preservation Austin’s development committee and as a current member of the Women’s Fund at the Austin Community Foundation.
Please join me in welcoming Natalie into her new leadership role in the college.
Sincerely,
