Notable Nonprofit Board Leaders: Kimberly Kane

Class of 2023

Boards: Three Harbors Council – Boy Scouts of America, Safe & Sound

Kimberly Kane, president and CEO of Milwaukee-based Kane Communications Group, credits her father’s example for her desire to serve. Her father ran a gang prevention program in Los Angeles, and she saw the role his board of directors played in the organization’s mission.

For the past 15 years, Kane has held leadership roles with 10 nonprofit boards, including president of TEMPO Milwaukee, where she helped membership double in size, and was the first female board chair of Three Harbors Council – Boy Scouts of America, where she currently leads strategic planning for the council and is engaged in strategic work at the national level.

“I’ve seen Kimberly in action elsewhere, including Rotary and Boy Scouts of America. In each of these environments, she remains consistent, thoughtful; she says what she’s going to do, and she achieves it, if not exceeds it,” said Tracy Johnson, president and CEO of the Commercial Association of Realtors Wisconsin and former TEMPO executive director.

Kane also serves on the board of Safe & Sound.
