Wisconsin Conservation Voters hosted our first Green Tie Gala ten years ago to gather, wear green, and celebrate the people who inspire our movement. Since then our mission and membership has grown, and we have even more reason to celebrate.

Join us Wednesday, September 18 in Milwaukee at the historic Turner Hall Ballroom for an evening of food, drinks, and fun with the people who make conservation victories possible in Wisconsin. We can't wait to see you, your friends, and your finest green accessories at Green Tie Milwaukee!
