Exciting News from HBI


We've Moved! Pardon our dust.

As of August 20, 2010, the Helen Bader Institute has been relocated to the UWM Alumni House, 3230 East Kenwood Boulevard. Our offices are located on the third floor, in rooms 381, 388 and 390. The movers are delivering boxes and furniture today, and we'll be settling in over the next week.

Built in the 1920s, the Alumni House is an English Tudor mansion located on the lake bluff at the end of Kenwood Boulevard, one block east of the intersection of Lincoln Memorial Drive and Lake Drive. (See map for directions. The Alumni House is on the far right hand side of the map.)

Metered parking is available for visitors on the north side of the Alumni House parking lot. Street parking is also available.

Our phone numbers and email addresses are all still active so please don't hesitate to contact us. You may continue to use our PO box address:

Helen Bader Institute for Nonprofit Management
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
PO Box 413
Milwaukee, 53201


Graduate students please note.

The orientation session for nonprofit management graduate students will be held in the Garden Room of the Alumni House from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Please note the change in location, as it was originally scheduled to take place in Lubar Hall. This will give students an opportunity to visit our new digs.

(The orientation is required for MS students and strongly recommended for graduate certificate students. Please register if you plan to attend.)
Sincerely,

Douglas M. Ihrke
Executive Director

Art Museum Seeks Our Help


Dear Colleagues,

The Milwaukee Art Museum is looking for volunteers who would enjoy sharing their enthusiasm for art with museum visitors. Museum volunteers directly impact the Museum’s ability to offer outstanding visitor experiences. Museum volunteering is a great opportunity for students, retirees, people in career transitions, and more.

We will be hosting two 30 minute information sessions for prospective volunteers interested in getting involved in time for our fall European Design exhibition:

Tuesday, September 7th at 10:30am
Thursday, September 9th at 5:30pm

Both sessions take place at the Milwaukee Art Museum. We encourage you to share this opportunity with anyone who may be interested. We are also available to come to your location to give an information session if you have interested parties of 10 or more. More information about the Museum is available at www.mam.org.

Best,
Caitlin Martell and Nell Rae Forrest

Volunteers Needed


Dear Nonprofit Leadership Student Association -

The Wisconsin Parkinson Association is hosting a large upcoming event called the "Blue Collar Ball". We are looking for volunteers to help out that day/night. Would anyone from your organization be interested in this volunteer opportunity?

The event will be held at the Harley Davidson Museum on Saturday, September 25. It is called the Blue Collar Ball and will have Wisconsin-themed food, beer/cheese pairings, Wii bowling (great game for people with Parkinson disease), silent auction and raffle, tours of the museum, polka and rock bands, etc. Should be fun! Because there is so much going on, we are in dire need of volunteers!!!

The event website is: http://www.bluecollarball.com/

Thanks so much & Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns!
