Experience

1. Urban Ecology Center

   Jun 1998 — Present

   Served as Vice President for 3 years, and then as President for another 3 plus years, during UEC\'s transition from occupying a double-wide trailer without running water to designing, constructing, and raising the funds for a beautiful, new environmentally sustainable square foot facility to serve as an urban environmental education center, a nature center, and a community center for surrounding neighborhoods in Milwaukee. Have remained as the organization\'s longest-serving board member as it expanded to a second facility in Milwaukee\'s Washington Park and to its new 3rd branch, which opened to serve Milwaukee\'s South Side from a newly-developed Three Bridges nature park, all as a result of a successful multi-million dollar public-private redevelopment effort. Participated in UEC\'s partnership with the Milwaukee Downtown Rotary Club in developing the Rotary Centennial Memorial Arboretum adjacent to UEC\'s Riverside Park branch.
