How Does Milwaukee Measure Up? Insights from the Hispanic and African American Well-Being Indexes

Annually, the Hispanic Collaborative and the African American Leadership Alliance of Milwaukee (AALAM) publish Well-Being Indexes that offer a comparative view of how Milwaukee’s Black and Brown communities are progressing compared to peer metros.

These separate but closely related studies, produced by Dr. Marc Levine from UWM’s Center for Economic Development, provide a comprehensive picture of the current standings of Milwaukee’s Black and Brown communities in areas such as economic stability, education, health, housing, neighborhood and built environment, social and community context, civic engagement, and access to resources.

Nancy Hernandez, President of the Hispanic Collaborative, and Angela Adams, Interim President & CEO of AALAM, will share key findings and insights from the indexes, discussing how Milwaukee’s performance compares to other cities and highlighting actions their organizations are taking to improve the city’s wellness measures. Francesca Mayca Wegner, President of Hispanic Professionals of Greater Milwaukee, will highlight ways that employers might leverage this valuable data and insights to shape and inform their own workplace inclusion programs.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from local leaders and discover new ways to make Milwaukee a more inclusive and equitable place for everyone.
