Milwaukee Chapter News

9to5 Milwaukee's local member board was approved by member election, as of 2/15/10. 

Angie Grice: 9to5 is important to me because it motivates me as a young lady, mother, and scholar. I have been working for 6 years and have seen injustices that must be changed, and am now a weekly intern at 9to5. 9to5 is a community for working moms to ensure that we are all important.
