Boards: Make-A-Wish Wisconsin (vice chair), Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee
As president of the We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service foundations, Beth Straka supports organizations across Milwaukee and Wisconsin. In 2022, WEC Energy Group committed more than $20 million to hundreds of organizations.
Since Straka joined the company eight years ago, charitable giving by the foundations has tripled. In 2020, she advocated for and established a funding program for COVID-19 relief. The foundations provided $2 million in funding to organizations supporting health care workers, homeless shelters and food banks.
Straka is also the vice chair of the Make-A-Wish Wisconsin board and serves on the board of trustees of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee, on the finance and executive committees.
“Beth Straka’s strategic leadership, experience and vision for how a nonprofit organization should run have made an indelible impact on Make-A-Wish Wisconsin, guiding us through challenging times,” said Patti Gorsky, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Wisconsin.
