The Milwaukee LGBT Community Center has entered into negotiations with Diverse and Resilient to see if it makes sense for us to collaborate more fully, including a possible merger. While it is too early to speculate on the outcome, a positive working relationship has been established and a single committee representing both organizations is working diligently on the many issues involved. Information is shared freely with interested stakeholders via minutes following each negotiations committee meeting.

The members of the negotiations committee are:

Gerry Coon – Director, Diverse & Resilient Board of Directors
Fai DeMark – Vice-Chair, Diverse & Resilient Board of Directors
Andrew Hohensee – Chair, Milwaukee LGBT Community Center Board of Directors
Gary Hollander – CEO, Diverse & Resilient
Peter Larson – Treasurer, Milwaukee LGBT Community Center Board of Directors
