Margaret Wrenn Hickey, a partner in Becker, Hickey & Poster, S.C., served as President of the WEJF Board of Directors in 2021 and has served on the board since the end of 2013. She also served on the committee that interviewed the new executive director candidates in early 2021. She is passionate about bridging the justice gap and ensuring equal justice for all.
In addition to her work directly with WEJF, Margaret has used her present position as President of the State Bar of Wisconsin to help spotlight the need for legal aid and funding for those services. For example, she recently expressed the Bar’s support of the Governor’s proposed budgeting for civil legal aid in Wisconsin.
Margaret says, “It is a pleasure to work on behalf of and support WEJF because the agencies who receive the funds we raise are used to help those who cannot afford civil legal services receive them at no charge for critical needs like housing, health care, and public benefits. While as attorneys we cannot address the many unmet civil legal needs we see, we can support WEJF to help meet these needs.”
Thank you, Margaret, for your dedicated and wonderful support of WEJF and civil legal aid in Wisconsin!
