Stephen Adams, founder and president of Milwaukee-based Community Development Management Partnerships, has been instrumental to Riverworks Development Corp.’s mission and vision, according to executive director Darryl Johnson.
“Through his years of experience in economic and community development in the public, private and nonprofit sectors, Steve’s expertise in advocacy, strategic planning and connecting public, private and nonprofit sectors has helped pave the way for critical revitalization efforts in the Harambee and Riverwest communities, and beyond,” said Johnson.
