 Dear Friends and Supporters, Please join the board of directors and me in thanking Elaine Maly for more than eight years of leading the Women's Fund of Greater Milwaukee. Elaine will be leaving her position as Executive Director on April 29 to pursue a new career opportunity. We are grateful for Elaine's invaluable contributions. Among them, she was integral in establishing the Women's Fund as an independent organization that has helped advance social justice, women's leadership and philanthropy and most importantly, a community that is fair and just. Elaine leaves the Women's Fund in a very strong position. Our Executive Search Committee is embarking on a search for the best leader to continue our work changing the future for women and girls in Milwaukee. We will keep you updated on the process. We appreciate your ongoing support. Sincerely, Anne Tidmore Board President P.S. We invite you to thank Elaine for her leadership with a donation in her honor. |
