BizTimes calls for Nonprofit Excellence Awards nominations
BizTimes Media is looking to southeastern Wisconsin's business and nonprofit communities to nominate deserving individuals, companies and organizations for the second annual Nonprofit Excellence Awards program.
The awards call attention to the philanthropic accomplishments of area business leaders and strides made by nonprofits. Last year's inaugural awards program recognized honorees during a November breakfast held at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino. The event drew more than 400 attendees from the region's business and nonprofit communities.
The 2015 awards program, presented in partnership with the Association of Fundraising Professionals Southeastern Wisconsin Chapter and the Wisconsin Philanthropy Network, features nine award categories.

Ten years of leading revitalization efforts in Milwaukee's Menomonee Valley has prepared Laura Bray to take charge of redevelopment efforts in central city neighborhoods as executive director of LISC Milwaukee.
Bray, whose first official day heading LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corp.) is Monday, Aug. 10, succeeds Leo Ries, who in April transitioned out of the organization after 15 years to head in a new personal and professional direction.
Prior to LISC, Bray herself had been exploring a new direction as chief executive officer of BioForward Inc., the member-driven Wisconsin affiliate of the Biotechnology Industry Organization, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, and the Advanced Medical Technology Association.

Till brings industry, academic expertise to MU business school
Marquette University president Michael Lovell, Ph.D., has a new running buddy on campus as Brian Till, Ph.D., settles into his post at the head of the College of Business Administration and Graduate School of Management.
Till, also a regular runner, joined the college in mid-July as the new James H. Keyes Dean, after serving as dean of the Williams College of Business at Xavier University in Cincinnati since 2012.
Till's interest in migrating to Marquette stemmed from his desire to stay in the Midwest – he identifies himself as a “Midwest guy” – as well as his respect for the university's reputation, he said.
