Preserving History for Milwaukee's Future (Milwaukee's Young Professional Week)

 

 Historic Milwaukee, Inc.
Since 1974 Historic Milwaukee, Inc. (“HMI”) has been dedicated to increasing awareness of and commitment to Milwaukee’s history, architecture, and the preservation of our built environment through education and advocacy.

Milwaukee has the fortune to grow economically and culturally by investing resources in building awareness of our unique history, architecture, and the sustainability of our one-of-a-kind built environment. Communities that showcase their unique sense of place, their heritage, diversity, and distinction attract more people. In 2012 HMI shared Milwaukee stories, directly, to over 60,000 people. People, not buildings, make history. HMI works productively and proactively with city officials, developers, businesses, neighborhood groups, other nonprofits, and diverse individuals to promote historic preservation and heritage conservation as economically, environmentally and culturally sustainable development tools.?

Journal Futures
Journal Futures is an initiative dedicated to uniting the young professional workforce at the Journal based on the platform of connectivity, creativity and productivity as means to a better future. We achieve this, through volunteer activities with local Milwaukee non-profits, bi-monthly happy hours at various downtown establishments and group meetings that feature guest speakers, partnership opportunities and more. In addition, Journal Futures also exists to provide the unique opportunity for members to reach across department lines and get to know their peers in a unique and interesting way, outside of the normal day to day business interactions.
