Liccione is responsible for strengthening Neighborhood House’s programs through its development and communications efforts. She brings more than 30 years of fundraising, marketing and communication experience to the organization.

She then joined Neighborhood  House in January 2019. The nonprofits she has served cover a wide range services that help children, young families, college students and older adults.

Her past work in Milwaukee as the Executive Director of an organization supporting domestic violence survivors garnered her an award from the Milwaukee Woman’s Fund. Ms. Liccione was named one of the “Top 100 Women Making a Difference” by Today’s Chicago Woman magazine when she served Meals on Wheels in Chicago.

Widge completed her coursework at UW-Milwaukee’s Cultural Foundation of Education Masters’ program and earned a B.A. (Psychology) from John Carroll University near Cleveland, Ohio. She has served on many nonprofit boards and committees in both Milwaukee and Chicago and is a longtime member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
