Bio
Megan Muthupandiyan
Steve has exceptional local knowledge on the demographics of poverty in our community. With a decade and a half of conducting longitudinal studies on poverty on behalf of the Social Development Commission, his strong analytical and descriptive capacities seem equally at home in the arenas of organizational strategic planning, project management, and policy analysis. As a supervisor and a colleague Steve assumes a servant-leadership style of engagement with his co-workers — listening receptively, conceptualizing long term priorities for his department and staff,and exhibiting a continual commitment to the growth of the people with whom, and for whom, he works.
Scott Davis
Steve is well-organized, thinks analytically and strategically, and is able to build collaborations with groups quickly. Steve is well-versed in social issues both in terms of causes as well as solutions. He knows how to manage large projects, and can effectively speak of both big picture and specific details. I have found Steve to be professional, collaborative, and highly capable. He gets along well with a wide diversity of individuals. In short, Steve is a strong force for positive social change.

My grant writer/researcher position consisted of two primary duties - writing proposals for funding and conducting secondary research.

The research function focused primarily on conducting community needs assessments that identified the service needs of Milwaukee County's low-income population and the service gaps in Milwaukee County's human service systems.
