The League was proud to partner with the (at) Transportation Development Association of Wisconsin for last month’s Turnout for Transportation Roundtables.

Thank you to all the municipal speakers and attendees! As Adam Lorentz, La Crosse’s Transit Director, said during his panel presentation, “Every citizen has a right to participate in their community, and transportation should not be a barrier to that."

The League of Wisconsin Municipalities has selected Emily McFarland as its next Executive Director, marking a historic milestone as she becomes the sixth executive director in the League’s 128-year history and its first woman to hold the role.

McFarland will succeed retiring Executive Director Jerry Deschane following more than three decades of service to Wisconsin local government. The announcement was made by League Board President Randy Meyer after a nationwide search.

McFarland brings extensive experience in municipal leadership, public policy, and state and federal government relations, having most recently served as Vice President of Development and Administration for a housing development company and previously as Mayor of Watertown.

She is expected to begin her role in early July and will work alongside Deschane during a transition period.
