The Mielke Family Foundation, one of northeast Wisconsin's most active philanthropic foundations, was recognized Tuesday, Sept. 21 with Lawrence University's first "Collaboration in Action" award during the college's second annual Report to the Community. Oscar Boldt, chairman of The Boldt Group, served as emcee of the event, while Dave Vander Zanden, CEO of School Specialty, was the featured speaker at the program, which attracted an audience of nearly 150 community leaders.
The Collaboration in Action award honors an individual or organization, who, in partnership with Lawrence, has provided exemplary service to the Fox Cities community. Richard Calder, president of its board of directors, and Dr. John Mielke, a member of the board, accepted the award on the foundation's behalf from Lawrence University President Jill Beck.
