Administrator
Lena Scheibengraber Hey all you WUMderful Circle K members - my name is Lena Scheibengraber (she/her/hers) and I have the distinct pleasure of serving as your District Administrator. I am a graduate of Alverno College with a double major in Mathematics & Global Studies and International Affairs. A proud Circle K alum having served in various club, district, and international leadership roles, I am excited to be giving back to CKI as a member of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Nights Kiwanis Club. Outside of Circle K and Kiwanis, I volunteer as a Legal Observer with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Wisconsin, and have served in various roles related to civic engagement, such as a Chief Election Inspector for the Milwaukee Election Commission and Voter Services Co-Chair for the League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County. In my professional life, I work as a Constituent Services Representative with a focus on immigration issues at Senator Tammy Baldwin's Office in Milwaukee in addition to being a graduate student at UW-Milwaukee where I am studying Cultural Foundations of Community Engagement and Education. With so many incredible adventures on the horizon, it's hard to choose just one thing I'm excited about! If I had to pick just one thing, I'd say I'm most excited about the district hosting membership-focused, in-person and hybrid events that will help connect us to one another. |

Ann Marie Pilot Hello to you all! I'm Ann Marie Pilot (she/her), happily serving as the Assistant District Administrator for WUM! I am fortunate to be able to closely work with the chair positions on the board. I graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a degree in English & Communications. I have been a member of the Kiwanis Family since 2002 serving in leadership positions in Circle K and now Kiwanis. I am a member of the Kiwanis Club of Metro Milwaukee Nights, and serve the WI-UM Kiwanis District Service Chair (and Camp Wawbeek is one of my all time favorite places to be). Professionally, I work in the Non-profit sector as a Development Manager for the Walk to End Alzheimer's. If you would like to plan a service project around any Alzheimer's related functions, please let me know!I’m excited I’ll be able to work with the resilient, passionate, innovative members of WUM —IN PERSON (at least more in person than we have been the last three years). I cannot wait to be a supportive member of the Kiwanis committee (especially with our phenomenal chairs)! A fun fact about me is that I cosplay, and visit conventions around the country! A few characters I dress up as are: Anna from Frozen (my sister is Elsa), Buffy Summers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Professor Delores Umbridge from Harry Potter, and Cersei from Game of Thrones! |
