That's right - the end of the year is really just around the corner! We'd like to invite you to join us for some food, drinks, and in-person social interaction. We'd also really love to hear from YOU about what programming you'd like to see in 2026. Got an idea for a presentation or workshop? Want to test out your culture-related passion project with the chapter? We're open to all of the ideas and invite you to help shape our 2026 programming calendar. We'll also be sharing additional details about co-lead opportunities for the Milwaukee Chapter. If you've wanted to become more active in the chapter - here's your chance! So please join us for an evening of fun and meet other members of the Milwaukee chapter!
