Angela Mancuso
Executive Director
The Women's Center
A strong commitment to providing safe shelter and programs for victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, human trafficking, and child abuse has motivated Angela Mancusco, executive director of The Women’s Center, through two decades of dedication to her profession.
The former co-executive director of Milwaukee’s Sojourner Family Peace Center, Angela joined the Women’s Center (TWC) in 2013. Anxious to move TWC forward while honoring its respected past, she led efforts to provide diversity training to staff, offer competitive salaries, start an employee assistance program and create a staff Wellness Committee.
In addition to leading TWC, she is president of the Board of Directors of the Housing Action Coalition of Waukesha County, which works with community partners to address homelessness, an issue Angela has worked hard to bring before the public. She was instrumental in opening a local overflow shelter for homeless families and individuals. She is also a United Way Campaign Cabinet member, an appointee to the Governor’s Council of Offender Re-entry, co-chair of the Waukesha County Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force, and co-chair of the Milwaukee Commission on Domestic Violence.
Angela is respected as an effective and passionate leader, but one who always makes time for her colleagues. Her nominator noted that she “goes above and beyond the expectations of her position to demonstrate care for her team.”
