Our Board of Directors and Advisory Council
The UrbanEcology Center is governed by a committed and talented board of directors. This group of community leaders meet bi-monthly as a board and monthly in committees to formulate policy, advocate for our mission, provide oversight of our operations and steward donors and members contributions.  Each member serves on one of four subcommittees: Nominating and Governance, Human Resources, Development and Marketing or Finance or one of several Task Forces. Each officer serves on the Executive Committee. Current Task Forces include Menomonee Valley Task Force, Riverside Park Task Force, Washington Park Task Force and the Strategic Planning Task Force.
