BRADLEY FAMILY FOUNDATION ELECTS NEW BOARD OFFICERS
The Bradley Family Foundation, at its annual meeting on 5 December 2012, elected a new slate of board officers. Sarah Zimmerman is the new president of the board of directors and David V. Uihlein is now vice president. Francis Croak and Margaret Lund retained their positions as treasurer/secretary and assistant treasurer/secretary, respectively. Liza Sadoff remains a member of the board.
The main purpose of the Bradley Family Foundation is to operate the Lynden Sculpture Garden, located at 2145 West Brown Deer Road. The nonprofit sculpture garden, which opened to the public in May 2010, offers a unique experience of art in nature through its collection of more than 50 monumental sculptures sited across 40 acres of park, lake and woodland. Since opening to the public, Lynden has launched a membership program and offered a variety of educational programs, exhibitions, performances and special events to the public. Many of these programs are developed in collaboration with other area nonprofits.
David Uihlein, who is stepping down as president, saw the organization through its decision to open to the public and the subsequent major renovation that prepared the facilities and grounds for wider use. Formed in 1967 as a family foundation, the Bradley Family Foundation is now a private operating foundation that is focused on building community support and participation. “Sarah’s election signals two further significant organizational transitions,” Uihlein observed. “It is important to us to maintain family involvement in the foundation, and Sarah represents the fourth generation of the Bradley family to take an active role in its leadership. Sarah’s skills and experience make her an ideal president as the foundation becomes more outward looking and actively solicits community support.”
Sarah Zimmerman is coming to the end of her tenure as chair of the board of directors at 88Nine Radio Milwaukee, a listener-supported independent radio station, and is vice president of administration and secretary of the board of Lake Park Friends. She is also a member of the Strategic Planning Steering Committee at University School of Milwaukee. She serves as president of Astor Street Foundation and also as a director of the Gardner Foundation, which makes grants in the areas of social services, the arts, health care, and education. Zimmerman, who practiced general and appellate litigation for nine years at Rosen, Bien, Galvan & Grunfeld, a San Francisco firm, began teaching as an adjunct at Marquette Law School this fall. She earned her J.D. at Yale Law School, where she headed up the Initiative for Public Interest Law at Yale, a student group that raised and distributed seed money annually for innovative public interest law projects.
