As the WIU Foundation director of financial affairs, Sutton serves as the manager of accounting, business, information systems, purchasing, scholarship processing and gift and pledge processing for the Foundation, and ensures compliance with all regulatory requirements, as well as analyzing and mitigating contractual, process, and system risks for the Foundation's operations and the Foundation's assets, which exceed $54 million.
