Being involved with the Village of Wauwatosa Business Improvement District has reinforced something I believe deeply: community doesn’t just happen. It’s built—slowly, intentionally, and by people who are willing to show up.
The BID supports local businesses, strengthens the Village, and helps create spaces that invite people to gather. That might look like events, improved streetscapes, or thriving storefronts—but behind every visible success is a lot of behind-the-scenes work.
Meetings. Planning. Collaboration. Problem-solving. Listening. Sometimes disagreeing. Always caring.

What I’ve learned is that showing up consistently matters more than showing up perfectly. When residents and business owners invest time and energy into their neighborhood, the ripple effects are huge. Local businesses feel supported. The community feels connected. The Village feels alive.
This work isn’t flashy. But it’s meaningful. And it’s how places become more than just locations—they become homes.
Shop local. Attend Village events. Support the businesses and organizations that make Wauwatosa what it is. If you have the chance to get involved, take it—your presence truly matters.
Confidently winging it—powered by chaos and caffeine.
