Mancuso takes helm at Sojourner Truth House
Published March 12, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
Sojourner Truth House has named Angela Mancuso as the agency's new executive director.
Mancuso fills a position previously held by Kathie Stolpman, who retired in February after serving in the post since 1984.
"Since joining Sojourner Truth House, Angela's leadership and commitment to breaking the cycle of domestic violence has not wavered," said Douglas Leonhardt S.J., president of Sojourner Truth House's board of directors. "We are confident that Angela will continue to uphold the mission and vision of Sojourner Truth House, and promote domestic respect in the Milwaukee community.”
Sojourner Truth House operates a 37-bed shelter, which has provided safety and support services to thousands of women and children during its 28-year history. Other programs include a 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline, Domestic Abuse Victim Advocates in the Milwaukee District Attorney's Office, Belle Resource Center for Women and Children, and Batterers Anonymous-Beyond Abuse, for men and women seeking alternatives to their abusive behavior.
Sojourner Truth House served more than 24,000 people in 2007.
Mancuso's tenure at Sojourner Truth House began in 2001 as director of development and public relations, which also included supervision of the community education department. In August 2006, she assumed the role of associate director which formally identified her expanded duties to include administration, finance, fundraising, community education, public relations and the four core programs of Sojourner Truth House.
"The board's decision to offer the job of executive director to Angela makes me very happy," Stolpman said. "I have the utmost confidence in her leadership ability and I know she fully embraces the mission of Sojourner Truth House."
