10:30 A.M. Morning Program
11:45 A.M. Luncheon and Speaker
Morning Program: Dr. Amy Gilman is our morning program presenter on “The Chazen Museum of Art: Past, Present, and Future.” As the first new director of the museum in 33 years, she will discuss the Chazen’s history, current state, and plans for its strategic direction over the next five years. Having the second largest collection of art in Wisconsin and consisting of over 180,000 square feet between two buildings, one would hardly believe that the Chazen Museum of Art’s collection actually started in a humble storage unit in the basement of Bascom Hall. The Chazen is approaching its 50th anniversary in 2020, and like many university art museums, faces the challenge of remaining relevant and sustainable to both its campus peers and community at large.

Luncheon Speaker: Dane County Executive Joe Parisi will give an update of “Dane County 2019" Budget Initiatives including his priorities of increasing mental health services, cleaning up our lakes and increasing access to opportunity. With over 30 departments, Dane County provides many services to the community. Dane County is the fastest growing county in the state, in fact 70 percent of Wisconsin’s population growth happens in Dane County.
