That's a wrap on our 31st annual food drive to support the Hunger Task Force in the fight against hunger! And what a year it was; not only did we reach an amazing cumulative milestone of $500,000+ in donations, we also set yet another record with $45,802 this year, WOW!! Thank you to all who donated and helped put on this year's food drive!

EDI is proud to support the Milwaukee community through United Way's Holiday Giving Tree! This year, we teamed up with the Cathedral Center to provide 70 gifts of either blankets or kitchen supplies for families in need. #UnitedWay #Milwaukee

Congratulations to Tara Withington, CAE! At the recent @wisconsin-society-of-association-executives-official Summit, Tara was awarded the 2024 Hall of Fame Award. The award recognizes an individual who demonstrates involvement and commitment to the association management field on a continuous basis and Tara exemplifies this. After serving many nonprofit organizations at the grassroots, local, state, and regional levels, Tara joined EDI in 1998 and became an EDI principal in 2003. She currently serves as consulting partner to ten of EDI’s clients in addition to her role as Vice President of EDI.

Congratulations to Lindsay Bullock, CAE! Lindsay is a 2024 recipient of the @association-forum-of-chicagoland Forty Under 40 Award. The program honors stellar individuals whose notable endeavors (before turning 40) have had an impact within the association management community. Recipients were selected based on their extraordinary career accomplishments, commitment to the industry, and their continued pursuit to advance the professional practice of association management. The 2024 class was celebrated during the Holiday Showcase - Amplify, this week in Chicago and will be featured in the Spring 2025 issue of Forum Magazine.

We kicked off our 31st annual food drive benefiting the Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee with breakfast this morning and Bingo this afternoon. Last year the EDI staff, friends, and family raised over $44,000 bringing our 30 year total to a whopping $473,500. This year we hope to break half of a million dollars!

As the weather gets colder, EDI looks to support its community who may not be able to easily escape the cold. EDI employees made blankets last month to donate to the Hope House, a long-term housing facility and community center. Thank you to EDI leadership for providing all the blanket materials to help families in need in our community! #communityservice
