Board: St. Thomas More High School (chairperson)
Eric Conner joined the board of directors of St. Thomas More High School in Milwaukee in August of 2017. Since then, he has served on several committees, including finance, governance, board development and investments.
A 2003 graduate of St. Thomas More, Conner has mentored several STM students who come from underrepresented backgrounds.
In July 2022, Conner became co-chairperson of the school’s strategic planning steering committee. He stepped into the role of chairperson in November 2022, following the death of former board chair Robert Schleck.
“Most organizations would be shaken by the death of its board chairperson, but thanks to Eric’s calm, steady leadership, STM has mourned the loss of Robert Schleck while continuing the school’s upward trajectory, of which Schleck was so proud,” said Dan Steffes, director of development and alumni of St. Thomas More.
The school is in the midst of a record-breaking fundraising year, having significantly surpassed its $1.7 million goal with three months to go in the fiscal year. The annual Dinner Auction in March raised more than $297,000, shattering the previous year’s record of $226,000.
