Honoring departing members and welcoming new voices to the Labor Advisory Committee

The Labor Advisory Committee plays a vital role in connecting educators, labor organizations, students, and community partners to help ensure that our programs remain relevant, responsive, and high quality. Committee members bring a wide range of perspectives and experiences from labor organizations, worker advocacy groups, and the broader community.

We are deeply grateful for the service, expertise, and dedication of our departing members, whose contributions have helped strengthen our programs and support our mission:

  • Victoria Gutierrez, SEIU Healthcare Wisconsin
  • Ricardo Sanchez, LCLAA Milwaukee

At the same time, we are pleased to welcome new voices to the committee. Their experience and insights will help guide our work as we continue to meet the evolving needs of workers, students, and labor organizations:

  • Jose Ramirez, LIUNA Local 113
  • Joe Sexauer, Racine Educators United
  • Ahmed White, UW-Madison Law School

Adrienne E. Pagac, Managing Director of the University of Wisconsin–Madison Havens Wright Center for Social Justice, will continue serving as committee chair. We look forward to another year of collaboration and leadership as the committee advances its role in supporting labor education and worker empowerment.
