2011 Annual Report

A Message from Jay Williams, President & CEO of the Milwaukee Public Museum:

The 2010 / 2011 fiscal year was a strong one for MPM, and a year of many changes. We continued our focus on building a sustainable business model.  To this end, we restructured our bank debt, reducing it from $16.3 to under $5 million. We improved our net asset position by $10.9 million, and grew our endowment to $7.4 million.

Of course, despite our achievements, MPM will require careful stewardship as we face the years ahead. We would be remiss to ignore our challenges, and that we need continued support from our donor community. Our future is fragile and must be handled accordingly. However, we believe whole-heartedly in our mission, and while we acknowledge threats to our sustainability, we will never let them deter us – we will only use them to grow stronger as a business and academic institution.

I thank you for your support of the Milwaukee Public Museum.
