Changes in WCPE Leadership Announced
After helping elevate the performance of Wisconsin organizations for more than 15 years,
Liz Menzer will be stepping down as Executive Director of Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence. Liz will start the next leg of her professional career on August 1 as Senior Leader for Partner Development with
Studer Education, the education division of Studer Group.
"I am so grateful for the many amazing experiences I have had because of WCPE, as well as the opportunity to work with wonderful examiners, leaders and organizations. Studer Group was a 2010 national Baldrige award recipient and is a strong advocate for Baldrige. In my new position, I hope to be able to encourage educational institutions to use the Baldrige framework," said Menzer.
While she is leaving her role as Executive Director, the WCPE Board of Directors has offered Menzer a board seat and asked that she continue to represent Wisconsin on the Alliance for Performance Excellence, where she currently serves as Chairperson. Her stewardship on WCPE's Board of Directors will help guide and sustain the organization long into the future.
