Co-chairs include: former Molson Coors executive Kelly Grebe; Austin Ramirez, chief executive officer of Husco International; Dr. John Raymond, president and CEO of the Medical College of Wisconsin; and Judson Snyder, president of BMO Harris Equipment Finance Company and BMO senior executive for Southeast Wisconsin.
The co-chairs were announced Thursday at United Way’s annual meeting at the U.S. Bank building.
