2017 - 2018 TEMPO MILWAUKEE ANNUAL REPORT

TEMPO Milwaukee 2017 - 2018 Annual Report

REFLECTING ON TEMPO MILWAUKEE’S 2017 - 2018 FISCAL YEAR, WE THINK OF GROWTH. The statistics on page 6 tell a story, but more compelling is how we strengthened TEMPO Milwaukee’s mission. We did so by preserving the core values and traditions TEMPO Milwaukee is known for, but also by taking advantage of new opportunities that further the impact of women leaders in Milwaukee.

We are making an impact, but headlines validate that TEMPO Milwaukee is as needed today as it was in 1975. The familiar Sheryl Sandberg quote reads, “In the future there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.” Collectively, we are doing important work to make this statement a reality.

Our 2017-18 story couldn’t be told without our members, Emerging Women Leaders and other community partners who fuel TEMPO Milwaukee’s mission and purpose. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Dirks President & CEO TEMPO Milwaukee

opportunity to form relationships outside my fi eld.”

provide more value than any educational seminar or networking event.”

boss, colleague and friend.”
