Ian Abston has been a face of NEWaukee, and of young professionals in Milwaukee, since the organization was formed more than six years ago. I still remember the first NEWaukee event I went to at Replay years ago – and, of course, Ian was there.
Today, NEWaukee announced that Abston will move on to other opportunities, but the rest of the leadership at the group is intact and has an exciting year ahead. Abston will remain on the board of NEWaukee.
As for what's next, Abston's starting a new career chapter – one he'll tell us all about later in the week. No doubt Ian will still be a mainstay on the team of Milwaukee cheerleaders and innovators. I think it would be a loss for our fine city if he wasn't, as I know Ian (he is an OnMilwaukee alum, after all). But he will continue to push our area forward no matter where his road takes him.
Carolynn Buser is one of Milwaukee's loudest and most adamant cheerleaders (don't dare try to disagree). She's the primary voice behind much of OnMilwaukee's social media and content direction, and apologizes in advance if she can be too sarcastic at times.
What else? She's a wine lover, closet trashy novel reader, beauty supplies addict and devourer of cheese (shocker for a Wisconsin born and bred girl, right?). She's also a bit of a foodie, which is a word most of you hate, we know. She works as hard as she plays - and that includes in the gym! So, you've probably seen her at one of the area's newest restaurant openings (and yes, she will share her opinions good or bad) or enjoying a cold one at a local pub.
All in all, Carolynn's a believer in positive thinking and will do her best to smack down your negative ones while writing about her city, her loves, quests and more.
