About Our Founder

Una Winterman

Una Winterman has primarily lived and worked in Bloomington since she came here to study journalism at Indiana University in 1991.  She is the mother of two, a published poet and photographer, and a performing songwriter and musician.  She has been a leader in area school initiatives and has been active in the local art and music scene for several years.  Her experience in these areas and her genuine love for life in Bloomington have instilled in her a deeper understanding of what community means and how it works, as well as a heightened sense of awareness and concern for the well-being of her community.  Through Local First Indiana, Una hopes to make Bloomington a stronger community, and make an already-great place to live an even better one for her fellow citizens, her family, and the future of the city.
