Purpose
The Milwaukee Succeeds Executive Committee exists to ensure that investment in leadership, financial and talent resources, and the ability to influence policy and leverage relationships at the City, State and Federal levels all result in successful implementation of strategies that improve educational outcomes for every child in Milwaukee, cradle to career.
Membership
Each member represents top-level decision makers in key leadership roles that are essential in engaging all sectors of the educational ecosystem in Milwaukee.
