JENNIE STOLTZ

Hi! I'm Jennie Stoltz and I'm running for Fox Point Village President. I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself.

 

I'm currently serving as a Fox Point Village Trustee and have nearly 30 years of public service experience.

 

I received a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration from Marquette University and a Master of Library & Information Science from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. I began my career as a Children’s Librarian in 1995 and later served as Head of Youth Services at the Weyenberg Library in Mequon–Thiensville.

 

In 2007, I was appointed Library Director at the Pewaukee Public Library, where I served for twelve years.

 

I've also served as Interim Director at the Weyenberg and Elm Grove Public Libraries.

​

Before becoming a librarian I worked for several years in retail - Webster's Bookshop, Audubon Court Books, Schwartz Bookshop (Ironblock Store) - until I became part owner of a bookstore in Shorewood called Grey & Dudley. 

​

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with municipal staff and elected officials. I've regularly participated in board/council and budget meetings. As Library Director, I managed a $1.25 million annual budget and consistently delivered fiscally responsible results.

 

My career has been defined by:

• Dedicated community service

• Collaboration to achieve aspirational goals

• Rigorous fiscal oversight

• Supportive and empowering work environments

• Realistic and forward-thinking long-term planning

 

These are the values I bring to my work on the Village Board. Beyond this role, I have accumulated significant board experience over the past 20 years, including:

- Addoco, Inc (current since 2019)
- Alliance of Public Librarians (12 years - chair & secretary)
- COLAND – WI Council on Library and Network Development (4 years)
- Pewaukee Public Library Board (12 years – Library Director, advisor to members)
- UW-Milwaukee School of Information Studies Advisory Council (8 years)
- Wisconsin Public Library Consortium Steering Committee (4 years)

​

I am looking forward to serving as your Village President and I am committed to being your voice for positive change.
