Business Advisory Council

As you may know, United Cerebral Palsy of Southeastern Wisconsin (UCP) is dedicated to assisting community members.  Our mission is to advance the independence, productivity and rights of citizenship for individuals with cerebral palsy and other disabilities and their families.  Employment Services established a Business Advisory Council to help attain that mission.

The Business Advisory Council (BAC) is made up of local business people that ultimately impact the employment for persons with disabilities, and provide a bridge for Employment Services between the world of social services and the corporate working world.  The Council’s ten-year existence is a declaration of its commitment and dedication to the goal of empowering people with disabilities through viable employment opportunities.  The BAC meets the fourth Tuesday of the month from 7:30 to 8:30 am.   

The mission of the Business Advisory Council is to increase the participation and involvement of the southeastern Wisconsin business community in the successful development of employment opportunities for the participants of UCP Programs.

Our current BAC members include local area human resources professionals, hiring managers, training consultants, manufacturers, and other local business professionals that provide valuable feedback to our non-profit agency as it relates to hiring trends, industry, marketing and business. 

UCP welcomes your participation and support to advance the independence of persons with disabilities. 

UCP would welcome your participation and support to advance the independence of persons with disabilities. We are actively seeking individuals from the business community to join our council.
