ONCE A YEAR 2014 | MILWAUKEE PRESS CLUB 3 A YEAR OF POSITIVE CHANGE 4 MILWAUKEE PRESS CLUB | ONCE A YEAR 2014 SEAN RYAN ALISON BAUTER STACY VOGEL DAVIS RICH KIRCHEN Any president’s letter needs to include an update on the club’s financial condition and I’m happy to say we are in a very solid position. Thanks to the effort of Mueller Communications, Inc. President and Press Club Treasurer Carl Mueller. He has trained us all to make sure we ask, “What would Carl say?” before we approve any club expense. And the Press Club would not be the strong organization it is without the hard work of Joette Richards, our club administrator. I am constantly amazed by the way Joette keeps everything organized – from setting up for all of our events to orga- DENISE LOCKWOOD PR E LE SIDE TT N ER T’S County Executive Chris Abele and Police Chief Ed Flynn. In 2013, we added a new of event called “Behind the Headlines,” which presents a panel discussion of community leaders talking about the major topics impacting southeastern Wisconsin. They are then questioned by a three-person media panel. Over the past year, we have held events focusing on the impact of the federal Affordable Care Act, the increase in entrepreneurship and innovation in the Milwaukee area, the business case for promoting women and the push for a new arena Downtown. In each case, these events have been well-attended and prompted interesting discussions and debates about these major issues. And they have made news, something we believe should happen at all Press Club events. I want to thank board members Marilyn Krause, Mary Van de Kamp Nohl, Jim Nelson and Jody Lowe for all of their efforts in putting together these events. We have also continued our strong series of newsmaker events held at the Newsroom Pub. One of the most exciting newsmaker luncheons featured the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s Frank Almond, just days after the police recovered the multimillion-dollar Stradivarius that was stolen from Almond in a case that received worldwide media attention. I want to thank board member Steve Jagler, who has led our newsmakers effort for many years. The beginnings of a new website and a new set of panel discussions contribute to I also want to thank Lori Richards Press Club’s ongoing success.

Thank you, Joette, for everything you do. Being president of the Press Club has been a very humbling experience. When you consider the fact that we are the oldest continuously operating press club in North America, you know how special this organization is. But if you ever need a reminder, I urge you to check out the signatures from so many prominent people that line the walls of the Newsroom Pub. This is a special organization and one that all of its members should be very proud to be involved with. I want to congratulate our Headline Award winners Michael Pink, Milwaukee Ballet artistic director, and Stephen Roell, recently retired CEO of Johnson Controls. I have had the honor of getting to know Michael and Steve over the last decade and fully understand the important role they have played in our community. It is also an honor to award our esteemed Sacred Cat to Jonathan Alter, who is a multi-media journalist, national author, reporter, columnist and NBC News political analyst. To them, and to all of the winners of the MPC Excellence in Wisconsin Journalism Awards: congratulations. Please join me in toasting them. ■ Mark Kass Milwaukee Press Club President is proud to accept its Milwaukee Press Club Awards for its extensive daily and weekly coverage of Milwaukee’s business commuity. milwaukeebusinessjournal.com I (414) 278-7788 ONCE A YEAR 2014 | MILWAUKEE PRESS CLUB 5 CA T SA CR ED Obama will be remembered for ending a long era in our history when, if you or your child got sick, you had to sell your home or declare personal bankruptcy. Unless Obamacare is repealed, which is unlikely, future generations won’t have to worry about this. The many flaws in Obamacare will fade in importance next to the ban on discrimination against those with preexisting conditions. If the Republicans win control of both houses this November, would that effectively end President Obama’s second term? No. Presidents have plenty of power – particularly in foreign affairs – even if the other party controls Congress. Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush all faced Congresses controlled by the other party, though the partisanship was less. What will become of the Tea Party? People will recognize it for what it is: a collection of old, white, anti-Washington conservatives. Such voters will always exist but the name is already becoming pejorative, which means it will soon slip into disuse. THE LONG VIEW A Q&A with Jonathan Alter, whose political reporting experience provides illuminating perspective. BY STEVE JAGLER WHEN IT COMES TO being dialed into the powers that be in the Washington, D.C., Jonathan Alter has few peers. Alter spent 28 years at Newsweek, where he was a senior editor, columnist and wrote more than 50 cover stories. He has also written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Washington Monthly, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, The New Republic, Bloomberg View and more. Since 1996, Alter has been an analyst and contributing correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC. He is currently an executive producer of “Alpha House,” a political comedy created by Garry Trudeau and starring John 6 MILWAUKEE PRESS CLUB | ONCE A YEAR 2014 Goodman. It’s for these reasons and more that the Milwaukee Press Club selected the award-winning author, reporter, columnist and television news analyst as the 2014 Sacred Cat Award honoree. Hoping to glean some of his insider knowledge and historical perspective, we asked him about the national political landscape in 2014 and beyond. How do you think history will remember President Obama? It’s too soon to say for sure, but in addition to being remembered forever in the U.S. for being the first black president, I think Do you think Hillary Clinton will run for president in 2016? Yes, if her health stays good. She wants a woman president and knows she is the best bet for one. What do you think of the chances for Gov. Scott Walker and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan as presidential candidates? If Walker wins reelection convincingly, he will be a strong candidate. If he wins narrowly, I think he will still run because the race is wide open. He could surprise a lot of people because there’s a hunger for a governor this time, though Jeb Bush running would make it hard for him. Ryan seems more focused on being chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and eventually speaker, though he is the most popular Republican in most polls and would make a plausible candidate. I think either would lose to Clinton. ■ It’s all business to us. As a committed corporate citizen with 170,000 employees serving clients in 150 countries, we take the business of engaging the community just as serious as the business of building a brighter, more sustainable world. At Johnson Controls, when it comes to community involvement, we mean business. ER HE AD L IN Yet Pink says he’s “amazed at the giving climate” in Milwaukee. “Our company is doing extremely well considering what we’ve all been through with the economy,” Pink says. He has put his stamp on the company by nurturing young up-and-coming dancers and encouraging new choreographers, says long-time ballet board member Donna Baumgartner. THE ARTISTIC COLLABORATOR Michael Pink’s leadership extends far beyond the Milwaukee Ballet. BY JIM NELSON MICHAEL PINK HAS MADE headlines for the Milwaukee Ballet for more than a decade. Pink, the longest serving artistic director in the company’s history, talks with passion about the company and its accomplishments under his leadership. That includes a recent nationally televised broadcast on PBS of “Peter Pan,” a ballet that he choreographed, performed by the company he leads. But Pink also speaks with the optimism and enthusiasm of an entrepreneur who sees an opportunity for arts groups and a medical facility to work together to meld art, movement and health under a single roof. Pink likes to talk about the stages of his career, from a successful run in England as a dancer to work as a choreographer, creator of original works and then artistic director. That journey led him to Milwaukee, where he found the Milwaukee Ballet had a 8 MILWAUKEE PRESS CLUB | ONCE A YEAR 2014 lot going for it, including its own orchestra and a top-flight costume shop. “When I came here, I saw the potential within the organization,” Pink says. Under his leadership, the company has staged numerous world premieres and worked more closely with other performing arts organizations, such as the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. He also has led a spring showcase that highlights works by new choreographers. Pink says he has grown to appreciate the richness of the community, its vibrant cultural scene and the support that the arts receive. “It’s a place that has a history, tradition and is blessed with some very loyal families,” he says. “I understand it when I hear people say they came for a year and stayed for 37.” Like other arts groups, the ballet struggled during the recent economic downturn. At We Energies, we’re committed to providing safe, reliable energy at a reasonable price – 365 days a year. We’re among the best in the nation for keeping your power on – and we’re working hard to keep it that way. 2K13069-PC “WHEN I CAME HERE, I SAW THE POTENTIAL WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION,” PINK SAYS. Visit we-energies.com for money-saving tips, tools and resources. “He’s attracted dancers from all over and he feeds them and nurtures their careers,” she says. “He portrays them as elite athletes, which is what they are.” Pink’s next act might be the most difficult – and potentially the most rewarding for the community. He’s helping lead the Harmony Initiative, a partnership between the ballet, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Medical College of Wisconsin. The vision is for a new facility – including a home for the ballet, a ballet school, a performance space and a sports medicine clinic – in Downtown Milwaukee. The $40 million project would be “a onestop shop for people to be, to move and to experience movement,” Pink says. The latest plans call for renovating the Laacke & Joys building downtown, along the Milwaukee River. “It’s a well-thought-out and methodical project,” he says. Baumgartner says the project represents an important part of Pink’s legacy. “Nobody in the community has been more collaborative in the arts than Michael,” she says. “He supports a whole arts ecosystem in Milwaukee.” ■ ONCE A YEAR 2014 | MILWAUKEE PRESS CLUB 9 ER HE AD L IN Ricks of the Milwaukee Chapter of UNCF to discuss an ambitious plan to raise $1 million in scholarships for UNCF and students from Milwaukee. She said with the help of Roell and fellow Johnson Controls executive Chuck Harvey, they were able to meet the goal in just three years and help dozens of Milwaukee students attend college. THOSE WITHIN JCI AREN ’T THE ONLY ONES WHO SEE ROELL AS AN EXAMPLE OF COMMUNITY-MINDED LEADERSHIP. THE CIVIC-MINDED CEO Stephen Roell focused not just on growing a company, but growing a community. BY MARK KASS WHEN YOU TALK TO STEPHEN ROELL, you are as likely to hear about how much time he spent working in the community as you are to hear him talk about the record growth he oversaw at Johnson Controls Inc. Roell, who retired as chairman of Wisconsin’s largest public company at the end of 2013, believes it is important for CEOs to be involved in the community. It was a lesson he learned from one of his predecessors, Fred Brengel, who served as head of Johnson Controls from 1967 to 1987. “He very simply stated that those of us that are fortunate and benefit from our success at JCI need to help those in need,” Roell says. “It’s really that simple.” “We’re very fortunate in Milwaukee to have CEOs that get it and devote their time and resources,” he says. “The key is going beyond that and getting the entire leadership 10 MILWAUKEE PRESS CLUB | ONCE A YEAR 2014 team and employee base engaged.” When asked what community effort he’s most proud of, Roell has a hard time singling out one.“There are many,” he says. “I feel particularly attached to the United Way of Greater Milwaukee, as does everyone who has ever served in a co-chair role. Having the opportunity to be a co-chair and then serving as chairman of the board was very rewarding. The opportunity to be associated with Hunger Task Force, the Boys & Girls Club, United Negro College Fund, the Medical College of Wisconsin and Wheaton Franciscan have all been great experiences.” And those within JCI aren’t the only ones who see Roell as an example of community-minded leadership. Julia Taylor, president of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, says soon after Roell took over as CEO, he invited her and Gloria Congratulations, Steve Roell. Your passion for giving back and your commitment to serving the community make you a true inspiration and a role model. “Steve never sought the spotlight,” Taylor says. “[He] pushed for big results and worked side by side to accomplish the goal of opening the door for so many young people to attend college.” Taylor says she remembers Roell’s son speaking at a community event and pointing out that his father ensured each sibling received a stellar education – a decision that sometimes strained the family’s pocketbook. “As a result, [he said], for years there was never any furniture in the living room,” Taylor recalls. “Steve would point to the empty room and tell his children to remember the priorities in life. Education was more important for Steve’s family than possessions.” Roell started at Johnson Controls in 1982 and served as senior vice president and chief financial officer from 1991 to 2004. He was appointed CEO in October 2007 and chairman in January 2008. During his time as chairman and CEO, the company grew to record levels with revenues of $41.8 billion in fiscal 2012 with roughly 170,000 global employees. The former CEO is known for his innovative efforts during his time at Johnson Controls, so much so that the company named its Third Ward innovation center in Milwaukee and an automotive design center in Holland, Mich., after him. Future Johnson Controls innovation hubs around the world will also bear his name, including a center in the planned China headquarters in Shanghai. ■ ONCE A YEAR 2014 | MILWAUKEE PRESS CLUB 11 MARQUETTE C O N G R AT U L AT E S OUR STUDENTS ON WINNING M I LW A U K E E PRESS CLUB AWARDS THE MARQUETTE JOURNAL Sterling Silver THE MARQUETTE TRIBUNE Kara Chiuchiarelli Andrew Dawson Seamus Doyle Tessa Fox Rob Gebelhoff Sarah Hauer Erin Heffernan Kelly Meyerhofer Eric Oliver Andrew Phillips Caroline Roers Pat Simonaitis Xidan Zhang Save Date AWARD WINNERS the City of Milwaukee’s 169th Birthday Party Thursday, January 29, 2015 Bartolotta Catering & Events at the Grain Exchange 225 E.
