Officer Elections - On the Move

A decision was reached at our last membership meeting to move officer elections to the Spring semester to ensure more fluid organizational operations and smoother transitions between new and exiting officers. It is my pleasure to share the following position descriptions and cordially ask for nominations. If you are interested in leading the organization that provides academic and leadership development opportunities to the current and future executives of nonprofit organizations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and beyond, please email me at nlsauwm@gmail.com
