History:
DSAW was established in September, 1990 by a group of parents wanting to provide support to other parents, family members and the community. Throughout the state of Wisconsin, DSAW consists of more than 1500 members. In early 2005, DSAW moved into a new office in the same building we've occupied since 2001, near 92nd and Beloit Avenue on the southwest side of Milwaukee. Daily responsibilities are handled by our Office Manager, Carrie Timmermon and Executive Director, Angie Mayer-Fech. Angie's son, Tyler, is a lively 11 year old with Down Syndrome.
Currently, we have seven members on the Board of Directors as well as twenty-three statewide Advisory Board members. We're always looking for feedback and different ways to help, so be sure to contact us!
Detailed Organization Information:
The vision of the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin (DSAW) is that we all understand the value of those with Down syndrome in our lives and our communities. We continually strive toward full acceptance, full access, full life and full potential.
