EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
We are pleased to announce a Niagara Forum with Ellen Gilligan, President and CEO of Greater Milwaukee Foundation. The title of her talk is “The Greater Milwaukee Foundation: Celebrating 100 years of Generosity”.
Short Abstract:
Generosity has a ripple effect, a good thing because a community is more than an individual, a single village, city or county. An economically thriving region is the key to ensuring a high quality of life for individuals and families. The talk will focus on the history of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, our centennial year celebration and our vision for the future of our community.
