About Us

BAAM (Business Administrators Archdiocese of Milwaukee) is the voluntary association of business professionals who work in parishes and schools as Directors of Administrative Services, Business Managers, Administrative Managers, and Bookkeepers.
The group meets most months from September through May. A nominal fee of $40 per year is charged to cover program and administrative fees for members.
Most meetings include a presentation by one or more speakers on topics of interest to the group in the areas of accounting, facilities maintenance, personnel administration, human resources, and other administrative issues. The meetings begin with networking and continental breakfast and always include time for fellowship and discussion with others who share similar job responsibilities.
Membership includes:
- Membership meetings with presentations in support of your ministry
- Annual Spiritual Retreat
- Annual Technology Conference
- Access to BAAM web site, which contains resources and online idea-sharing.
