The Santa Barbara Museum of Art (SBMA) has announced the newest members of its Board of Trustees for 2019-20 are Lynn Cunningham Brown, Junie Prewitt Jinkins and Barry Winick; Martha Gabbert is a returning member. They will serve under the leadership of Patricia Aoyama, the new board chair. The term of the new trustees began July 1.
During her 30-plus year career in Fortune 500 companies, Brown specialized in corporate communications and public affairs, and held leadership positions at Texas Instruments, Raytheon, Greyhound, and Waste Management. She served as a trustee of the Institute for Public Relations.
After retiring and moving to Santa Barbara in 2012, Brown reacquainted herself with her art and now works from a studio in her Santa Barbara home. She currently serves on several local nonprofit boards, including as board president for Pacific Pride Foundation, and until recently, as the head of the communications committee for Domestic Violence Solutions.
Brown is past president of the Junior League of Santa Barbara Sustainer Council, and is a volunteer at Lotusland. She has served on the SBMA Women’s Board for four years.
Jinkins lived in Houston, Texas, for 40 years where she practiced interior design. During that time, she was active with a local charity that operated its own clinic for pediatric neurology in the Texas Medical Center. Later, she managed a design studio for a California builder/developer, which expanded her work and travel to Southern California.
Three years ago, Jinkins and her husband moved to Santa Barbara. Jinkins has been an active member of the museum community, particularly with the Women’s Board. She is involved on the Music Academy Council and volunteers weekly at Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center.
Winick is the firm principal of Architects, Inc. in Santa Barbara, a registered architect in California and 10 other states, and a member of the American Institute of Architects. He began his career in Boston, then became an associate with the internationally acclaimed firm Peter Marino + Assoc Architects in Manhattan.
Winick then founded the Santa Barbara office for the firm to support projects in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
In addition to his design studio work, he has taught courses at Boston Architectural Center, and formerly served as the chairman of the local AIA SB Chapter; chairman of the board at the Waldorf School of Santa Barbara; and currently is on the Arts Advisory Board of Westmont College, and a member of the board of the Courthouse Legacy Foundation.
