2023 Westown Annual Meeting
On Tuesday, November 14, Westown Association held its 2023 Annual Meeting, presented by We Energies Foundation. Dozens of downtown leaders and stakeholders gathered at the Wisconsin Club to celebrate the organization’s accomplishments in 2023 and recognize this year’s award recipients.
During the event, Stacie Callies, Westown’s Executive Director, and Jeff Sherman, Westown’s Board President, recalled the numerous announcements of new developments and businesses relocating to downtown’s premier neighborhood west of the Milwaukee River. The organization celebrated a successful event season from the Shamrock Club of Wisconsin St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the Milwaukee Night Market which attracted over 100,000 visitors to the neighborhood in 2023.
The Westown Board of Directors re-elected three members for a three-year term including Marty Brooks of Wisconsin Center District, Courtney Morris of Hempel Real Estate and Bobby Wiltgen of Cream City Concepts.
During the meeting, we were joined by Mayor Cavalier Johnson; Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman; Elise Dickens, CEO of the Republican National Convention and Alison Prange, COO of the 2024 MKE Host Committee for a panel discussion moderated by Charels Benson of TMJ4.
