The Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin (DSAW) is an organization created for individuals and families affected by Down syndrome to offer assistance, create awareness and gain acceptance of Down syndrome throughout our communities.
Throughout the state of Wisconsin, DSAW consists of more than 1000 members. In early 2005, DSAW moved into a new office in the same building we've occupied since 2001, near 92nd and Beloit Avenue on the southwest side of Milwaukee. The new office came complete with a meeting room, storage space and library area.
Daily responsibilities are handled by our Office Administrator, Ellen, who has been with the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin since 2001. Ellen's grandson, Tyler, is a lively seven year old with DS.
Currently, we have eight members on the Board of Directors as well as twenty statewide Advisory Board members. We're always looking for feedback and different ways to help, so be sure to contact us!
