"We are thrilled to have Teresa join the Komen Wisconsin board of directors," said Nikki Panico, Executive Director. "She has a wealth of experience that will benefit Komen and help us grow as an organization. She serves as a knowledgeable representative and advocate for south central Wisconsin within our organization."
