Osher Distingusihed Speaker Series: The New Social Development Commission
The Social Development Commission (SDC) was established in 1963 as an intergovernmental commission and, in 1964, the SDC became the sole Community Action Agency for Milwaukee County. From the very beginning, SDC's mission has been to empower Milwaukee County residents with the resources to move beyond poverty. A few years ago, the agency experienced a time of change as a result of adjustments in leadership and the loss of one of its largest programs. Today, after a great deal of hard work and dedication by the staff and agency commissioners, the SDC is once again on solid ground. Join SDC Executive Director, George Hinton, as he describes the journey to the new Social Development Commission. Although the event is free, registration is required for Program Number: 8300-9698. Please call, 414-227-3200.
