MICHAEL ENGLESON, Executive Director
Prior to accepting the Executive Director role in 2013, Mike came to Wisconsin Lakes as Membership & Communications Director in 2009. A graduate of Lawrence University in Appleton and UW-Madison Law School, Mike gained a great deal of experience with non-profit organizations while in school. He served as intern with 1,000 Friends of Wisconsin, during which time he helped rural towns write ordinances implementing their land use plans. After a short stint as a general practice attorney, he spent six years working for the River Alliance of Wisconsin before coming to Wisconsin Lakes. He has served on the boards of several non-profit organizations, including Prairie Music & Arts, the Tenant Resource Center of Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Community Fund, and is a graduate of Lawrence University in Appleton.
A paddler, hiker, and occasional trombonist, Mike is a lifelong resident of Wisconsin (except for four great years in Kentucky). Some of his fondest memories are of camping and canoeing the lakes of the northwoods, a pastime he now enjoys sharing with his family.

DAVID PAUSCH, Membership & Development Director
David Pausch brings more than a decade of experience in fundraising and development to Wisconsin Lakes. Before coming to Wisconsin Lakes in 2013, David was the director of development for the River Alliance of Wisconsin. When not developing and fundraising, David is a pretty talented actor and theatrical director, a darned good home chef, a mediocre but dedicated gardener, and a doggedly determined husband and father to Karen, Max, and Ginny, respectively.
