Citizen of the Year:Barb FlemingThere is no one more deserving of the title

“Citizen of the Year” than Brown Deer

resident Barb Fleming. Over the years, this

dynamo has had her hand in the success of

so many Village projects, it is hard to keep

track. Volunteerism runs in her blood, and she

has spent her adult life in the Village she loves,

always trying to make it a better place to live!

According to Barb, “At a very early age

I began my career as a volunteer – always

raising my hand at school to participate, and

volunteering my parents as well,” she laughs.

After growing up in West Bend, graduating

from UW-Madison, and then living in the

Chicago area with her husband, Scott, for

a few years, the Flemings moved back to

Wisconsin and bought a home in Brown Deer

where they raised their family.

“We came here because of Brown Deer’s

size, proximity to downtown Milwaukee, the

opportunity to be involved, and the diversity

of residents,” explains Barb. “The people here

remind me of my own hometown. They are

respectful, warm and generous. We like living

in the metro area with all it has to offer.”

Barb has held a variety of positions in the

community, and currently is the president of

the newly formed Education Foundation of

Brown Deer, Inc. She and her husband love

traveling the world.

“I appreciate all of the opportunities I

have had to be involved, and work with many

interesting and caring people. Together we

have faced many challenges, but are now a

community with great promise for the future

as long as we band together for the common

good,” says Barb.
