Game Changer Awards

Game Changer Awards are provided to an individual and an organization that has distinguished themselves in one of the six NAACP game-changer areas: economic sustainability, education, health, public safety & criminal justice, voting rights and political representation, and youth engagement.

NAACP Game Changer Award Winner in Economic Sustainability

KAPCO Metal Stamping, a subsidiary of Kacmarcik Enterprises, is the winner of the NAACP Game Changer Award in Economic Sustainability. Sustainability consists of fulfilling the needs of current generations without compromising the needs of future generations, while ensuring a balance between economic growth, environmental care and social well-being.

Kacmarcik Enterprises has several subsidiaries including the Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance whose mission is to transform the potential of their employees and the community through learning that accelerates their performance, boosts well-being, and unleashes their capacity to achieve their best future: at work and in life. KAPCO, located in Grafton, WI, is a beneficiary of this work. They have exemplified what it means to be an organization that gives back to the community through their philanthropy and community service.

Michael was born and raised in Milwaukee, graduating from MPS and received a BSEE from the Milwaukee School of Engineering. He joined GE in the Healthcare Division in 1981 and, prior to his role as CDO, he served as President and CEO of GEHC’s Molecular Imaging and Computed Tomography (MICT) business.

Frances Hook Award

The Frances Hook Award is a prestigious Women in the NAACP (WIN) award named after Frances Dancy Hook, its co-founder, and will be provided to a woman who is making pioneering or significant contributions to their communities through their professional careers or through volunteerism and advocacy work.

Frances Hook Award Winner

We are honored to announce that the Women in the NAACP (WIN) Frances Hook Award will be awarded to Natalia Minkel-Dumit!

Since January 2021, Natalia Minkel-Dumit has served as Chair of the Legal Redress Committee, which assists the Branch in responding to reports of racial discrimination and provides referrals to local attorneys. As a member of the Executive Committee, she has also played a central role in the Branch’s growth, outreach and programming including planning for the Branch’s Freedom Fund, Dr. Martin Luther-King Jr. Day, Women’s History Month and “Law Day” events.

From April 2020 – April 2022, Natalia served as an Ozaukee County Board Supervisor and was a member of the Board’s Natural Resources Committee and Energy Action Team. While serving on the County Board, Natalia supported allocation of funding for projects benefiting our community, including: the Cedar Gorge Clay Bluffs nature preserve project; Covid-19 relief; Sheriff Department-wide body camera use; construction of a permanent Ozaukee Family Services housing shelter in Port Washington; public beach access at Virmond County Park and other projects.

Along with former Supervisor Janette Braverman, Natalia supported UW-Extension’s Community Conversations on Race series and advocated for creation of an Ozaukee County Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Committee and funding for county-wide DE&I training, which the County Board has not adopted to-date.

In February 2021, Natalia was appointed by Governor Tony Evers to represent Ozaukee County as a Commissioner for the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC), where she now sits on the Planning & Research Committee. She is also a member of Wisconsin Women in Sustainability, League of Women Voters of Ozaukee County and recently supported a project by Bridge the Divide to educate our community on the history of racially restrictive covenants in Ozaukee County.

Natalia is an attorney with a background in environmental policy and compliance, commercial contracts and small business advising. Among her many roles, Natalia’s
most humbling role has been as a “slay-at-home” parent and caregiver, and she advocates for increased support for the many forms of direct care work, which are often disproportionately performed by women of color and immigrant women.

Natalia is a graduate of Marquette University Law School and Washington University in St. Louis. She is a proud hyphenated, 2nd generation, Colombian – American and lives in Mequon with her husband, who also serves on the Legal Redress Committee and as in-house counsel for Kohl’s Inc., and their family.
