WAEE's First Executive Director

Beca Borkowski joins WAEE with roughly 10-years' experience in nonprofit administration, including working for environmental and social service nonprofits focused on equity and diversity in the Milwaukee Area. She has experience working on political issues related to education in Wisconsin with the ACLU and has experience teaching in the community with youth audiences, community leaders, the BIPOC community, and non-english speaking refugees from Africa and Asia. Beca brings a Master's of Science Degree in Environmental Conservation from UW-Madison and a bachelor's degree in global security, focused on international human rights and resource scarcity, from UW-Milwaukee. She is also employed with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as the Green and Healthy Schools Wisconsin Coordinator, which she believes will pair perfectly with this position to enhance environmental education outreach and advocacy in the state of Wisconsin. Welcome, Beca!
