Boards: Milwaukee Economic Development Corp., United Performing Arts Fund, Urban Ecology Center
Rebecca Mitich, managing partner of Husch Blackwell’s Milwaukee office, helps create safe, affordable housing in Milwaukee through her service on the board of the Milwaukee Economic Development Corp.
Mitich also serves on the board of the United Performing Arts Fund. She leads UPAF’s allocation committee, which stewards nearly $11 million in annual community support to ensure the performing arts community is welcoming and accessible to all, said Patrick Rath, UPAF’s president and chief executive officer.
Prior to her legal career, Mitich was a grant writer for the Carole Robertson Center, a Chicago nonprofit addressing early childhood education needs.
“From that moment, she saw the impact of board service and how lawyers were often the individuals to first raise their hand to understand and address an issue. As she transitioned into her legal career, Rebecca continues to engage in nonprofit board service opportunities that increase quality of life for all,” Rath said.
