BMA Milwaukee Board Profile - Vanessa LaCoste

Vanessa LaCoste is a magna cum laude graduate from the Lubar School of Business of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Since then, her hustle and can-do attitude has landed LaCoste in the Milwaukee advertising community working on national brands and product launches. Her community involvement includes serving as Board President for ArtWorks for Milwaukee, a local nonprofit promoting workforce development by utilizing the arts to teach job skills to at-risk teens in the community. LaCoste is also the Board Chapter Development Chair for BMA-Milwaukee.
