Nonprofit Executive of the Year Winner
Angela Mancuso
Executive Director, The Women’s Center, Inc.
Through her role as executive director of The Women’s Center, Inc., Angela Mancuso has aided countless Waukesha-area women and children affected by domestic violence.
Through numerous initiatives and practices, including adding a human resources manager, Mancuso has helped her organization execute and advance its goals in Waukesha County. Mancuso’s improved external communications strategy has helped serve more in need, illustrated by a 40 percent increase in calls to the agency’s 24-Hour Hotline from 2015-’17 and another 40 percent increase this year.
In addition to her work at the Women’s Center, Mancuso dedicates much of her free time to volunteering in the community, including in her role as president of the board of directors for the Housing Area Coalition of Waukesha County.
“Angela is one of the most inspirational and genuine people who truly leads by example. I couldn’t be more honored to work with her, and her team,” said Alicia Buttchen, treasury management officer of First Business Bank in Brookfield.
“This work is, of course, not about me. It’s about the thousands of adults and children who need the Women’s Center. If I cannot make this world a better, safer place for my daughter, then I need to do it for the next generation, as well.”
