Caroline Vance-Whittaker
Caroline Vance-Whittaker is Society Treasurer and chairs the LPTS Foundation. Its giving includes arts education, women's health, Lincoln Park projects, and the wisteria archway on Stockton Drive. Caroline likes a proposal with a clear budget. For the archway, she will also consider photographs.
Professionally: Caroline is a Senior Manager in Specialty Tax Services at Deloitte's Chicago office, specializing in family offices. Her white paper, The Tax Implications of Unfinished Basement Renovations in Lake-Bordered Cook County Zip Codes, remains in the firm's training materials. She previously worked in audit at KPMG.
A University of Virginia graduate raised in Lake Forest, Caroline lives on Orchard Street with her husband Charles. They also have a summer home in Harbor Country. She holds Cubs season tickets and would like Members borrowing them to confirm promptly.
Caroline and Charles own eleven acres of cabernet in Napa County. She calls the winery the asset; at the Foundation gala, its wine appears as donor supplied. She describes disappointing harvests in considerable detail. Charles tends to begin with how the wine tastes.
