Background:
|
In 1997 the Milwaukee Board of School Directors (MBSD) approved the establishment of the Milwaukee Public Schools Foundation, Inc., (Foundation) with the mission to promote educational excellence and to strengthen philanthropic community engagement in supporting student achievement.
In 2015, the Foundation was reconstituted as a separate 501(c)(3). The MBSD approved the initial Foundation's Board members after the executive committee was established. The current board roster is comprised of the following individuals:
• Tina Chang, CEO, SysLogic, Inc.
• Peter Feigin, President, Milwaukee Bucks
• Stephen Francaviglia, Chief Project Officer, Milwaukee Health Care Partnership
• Jacqueline Herd-Barber, Community Volunteer
• John Kersey, Executive Vice President, Zilber, Ltd.
• H. Carl Mueller, Chairman/CEO, Mueller Communications
• Mark Sabljak, Principal, Sabljak & Budisch
• Christina Fiasca, Community Volunteer
• James Friedman, Attorney/Shareholder, Godfrey & Kahn, S.C.
• Fred Tabak, President, Tabak Law
• Anthony Smith, Community Relations Executive, Marcus Center for the Performing Arts
• Heidi Schneider, Managing Director – Asset Management, Robert W. Baird
The following individuals serve as ex officio members of the Foundation's Board of Directors:
• Dr. Keith P. Posley, MPS Superintendent of Schools
• Wendell Willis, Executive Director, MPS Foundation
Over the last 24 months, and due to professional and personal competing priorities, some board members have needed to step down. In an effort to add to this diverse and distinguished board, the MPS Foundation Executive Committee has approved the following individuals for final presentation and confirmation:
Vincent Lyles, Vice President - Community Relations, Advocate Aurora
Joel Haubrich, Manager – Wisconsin Government Affairs, We Energies
Paula Phillips, Medical College of Wisconsin / Milwaukee Board of School Directors (replacing Carol Voss as liaison)
