Meet Nik Kovac, City of Milwaukee Budget and Management Division Director at Our October Member Dinner and Meeting
Thursday, October 22 | Plymouth Church
MHNA members are invited to join us for our upcoming October member meeting, featuring Nik Kovac, Director of the City of Milwaukee’s Budget and Management Division. This is a great opportunity to learn more about how the City’s budget process works, what goes into setting the City’s priorities, and how budget decisions can affect our neighborhoods. There will also be an opportunity for members to ask questions and raise issues or concerns related to the City budget.
We hope you’ll join us for this informative conversation and bring your questions about Milwaukee’s budget and the issues that matter to our neighborhood.
