We already miss you, Tony, but know right where to find you so we can collaborate on creating a Greater Milwaukee. Congratulations and best of luck!

On today, we say goodbye to MKE United's Director, Tony Panciera, who has committed over six years championing the important work of the MKE United initiative at the Greater Milwaukee Committee.

He led the strategic direction of MKE United to implement a shared and inclusive vision of the Greater Downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. During this transition, we will continue upholding our collaborative partnership to advance strategies in economic and community development, housing, and civic engagement.

Tony will still play a role in making a difference in our community, in his new position focused on overseeing policy development at the Milwaukee County Office of Equity.

Thank you for your authentic leadership, Tony! You will truly be missed!
