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?”

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-

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

contest. 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. ■

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.

Alter spent 28 years at Newsweek, where

1996, Alter has been an analyst and contributing correspondent for NBC News and

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.

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.

“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.” ■

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

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. ■

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL
OF THIS YEAR’S AWARD
WINNERS!
2014 SIX DEGREES OF MILWAUKEE:
CONNECTED FOR 168 YEARS
THIS YEAR’S city birthday party
celebrated the power of networking
and the connected nature of Milwaukee. In addition to a delightful
evening of socializing, networking
and celebrating the city’s 168th
birthday, the city’s top six need-toknow people were brought into the
limelight with the “Milwaukee sixpack” award. These six people were
nominated and selected by their
peers for their vast connections
and ability to make things happen.
The six-pack includes Sonny Ahuja
of SonnAhuja.com, Leah Busse of
Havana Lounge and Cigar, Erica
Conway or C2 Graphics Productivity Solutions, Tami Garrison of
MillerCoors, Justin Moralez of the
City of Cudahy and Derek Mosley,
Milwaukee municipal court judge.
Thank you to the six-pack and the
rest of the nominees and attendees
who make Milwaukee so special.
