As Executive Director of Imagine MKE, Christine Hojnacki leads Greater Milwaukee's only nonprofit dedicated to advancing and promoting the region's entire arts and culture sector and ensuring it remains central to our city's identity, economy, and future.
From forming new media partnerships to increase arts and culture news coverage, to helping to secure legislative wins to reestablish a Wisconsin Film Office and offer TV and film production incentives, Christine has had a busy first year at the helm of one of our area's most influential arts advocacy organizations.
Yet there is still important work ahead. While Milwaukee ranks as on of the nation's most arts-vibrant cities, the level of public funding received is among the lowest. That won't change without support from business and civic leaders.
Join Professional Dimensions for our February Dinner Program featuring Christine Hojnacki as she shares insights on the current state of arts and culture funding in our region, and how PD members can play a role in supporting advocacy efforts to ensure Wisconsin invests in this vital sector.

PD DINNER HIGHLIGHTS:
Wisconsin Club Partnership: We are honored to host this program at the Wisconsin Club, a venue that reflects the progress and leadership we strive to advance. We are inspired by Kathie Eilers, the first woman to serve as President of the Wisconsin Club Board of Directors, and by our esteemed PD member, Lou Koval, who continues to serve with distinction on the board. Professional Dimensions is committed to reinforcing women’s leadership as a model for others to aspire to. We recognize that creating meaningful change requires our active and courageous support, and we are proud to embody that commitment here.
A Hub for Convening: As we grow, we hope to leverage the Wisconsin Club as a physical gathering space for our organization. Many PD women are members of the Wisconsin Club, and we’re excited to offer tours at the conclusion of each program to invite more to join!
Progressive Dinners: We facilitate progressive dinners, a dynamic and engaging format designed to foster deeper connections. With each course—appetizer, entrée, and dessert—participants rotate to a new table with a different group of women. This structure encourages more meaningful conversations in smaller, topic-aligned groups while ensuring attendees interact with a diverse mix of people throughout the evening.
LOGISTICS:
(PD Dinner Programs are in-person only)
Parking: Members and guests can park in the Wisconsin Club parking lot at no additional cost.
