We are pleased to announce that Elizabeth Cizinsky, formerly the Director of Programs & Impact of the Greater Milwaukee Committee’s Scale Up Milwaukee program, will become the Forum’s new Director of Business and Community Operations. She will begin work for the Forum on January 2.
Elizabeth brings considerable management, data analysis, and fund development experience to the Forum, as well as strong connections in metro Milwaukee’s civic, business, and small business communities obtained through her nine years of experience with the GMC and Scale Up. A metro Milwaukee native and graduate of Marquette University, Elizabeth is active in her community, including serving as a board member of Fund Milwaukee, an active member of TEMPO’s Emerging Women Leaders, and a leadership team member for Project REACh.
Forum President Rob Henken says this new position has been designed to enhance the Forum’s relationship-building with civic, business, and fellow nonprofit organizations in Milwaukee and statewide, and also will play a key role in setting and implementing the Forum’s strategic direction.
“We are thrilled to bring in someone with Elizabeth’s managerial and strategic background to join our team. She will be key to our efforts to sustain and expand the Forum’s critical role in providing objective analysis of pressing public policy issues and her talents will help ensure that Wisconsin residents can continue to reap the benefits of housing one of the country’s premier nonpartisan policy think tanks.”
