RECOGNIZE THOSE WHO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY! WORKING TOGETHER Building a better future for Milwaukee Milwaukee is a vibrant city with much to offer. However, poverty, lack of access to good jobs and education and racial tension have created a deep divide – one that must be bridged for the entire community to realize its potential. Many people, companies and nonprofit organizations give tirelessly of their time and energy to provide better access to jobs, education, food and adequate healthcare. But how does it all work together, and what could we be doing better? Join BizTimes Media and a panel of business and community leaders to discuss current efforts and future opportunities as we work together to solve these complex and deeply-rooted challenges. Panelists: • Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive (1) • Bill Krugler, President, Milwaukee JobsWork (2) • Michael Morgan, Principal, Milwaukee College Prep: Lola Rowe North Campus (3) • Derek Mosely, City of Milwaukee Municipal Court Judge (4) Moderator: •
