\"\"The third annual Saluki Ball, presented by The Honorable Glenn and Mrs. Jo Poshard, will kick off in style this April. \u00a0Moneta<\/a> will serve as this year\u2019s Cocktail Hour Sponsor. As guests arrive at the SIU Student Center for an evening of elegance, purpose, and Saluki pride, Moneta\u2019s sponsorship sets the stage for a celebration that invests in the future.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s sponsorship is led by proud Saluki alumna Diane Compardo, B.S. \u201991, M.S. \u201992, and Ron Wienstroer, M.S. \u201991 \u2014 partners at Moneta and champions for SIU and its students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Saluki Ball serves as a true reflection of the spirit and pride of being a Saluki. In our continued commitment to giving back to this incredible community, we are excited to sponsor the cocktail hour this year. We\u2019re thrilled to be part of this special event that celebrates our shared history and invests in the future of SIU,\u201d said Compardo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Compardo, president of the SIU Foundation Board of Directors, is a member of the SIU Women\u2019s Leadership Council and the College of Business and Analytics Hall of Fame. A strong advocate for mentorship and philanthropy, she has long supported efforts to connect alumni with current students and elevate opportunities for women through events like the Saluki Women\u2019s Weekend, where Moneta is also the 2024 Women in Empowerment Conference Sponsor.<\/p>\n

Her husband and business partner, Ron Wienstroer, has been a driving force behind the success and national growth of Compardo, Wienstroer & Janes, a Moneta team recognized for its high-touch client experience and strategic leadership. A two-degree SIU alumnus, Wienstroer holds both a bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree in accounting and is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Before joining Moneta, he spent 17 years at Ernst & Young, where he rose to partner and held leadership roles in tax strategy and business development.<\/p>\n

Today, Wienstroer continues to support his alma mater as a member of the SIU College of Business Dean\u2019s External Advisory Board and the School of Accountancy Advisory Board. His professional excellence is matched by a deep commitment to mentorship, client care, and community service \u2014 all rooted in his Saluki education.<\/p>\n

The Saluki Ball, set for Saturday, April 26, brings together alumni, students, and friends of the university for a night of dining, dancing, and fundraising in support of student scholarships. With the goal of helping students bridge financial gaps and fulfill their potential, the event exemplifies the mission and momentum of the Imagine SIU 2030 fundraising campaign.<\/p>\n
