Herein, a loving and respectful tribute to Nate Timm, our dear friend and Wisconsin Grassroots Network founder. Nate served as WGN’s chair from 2009 to 2023. But, he was more than the chair. He was WGN's heart and soul.
Along with other members, Nate created educational events and seminars, a statewide network for message-based signage, and vibrant connections to people and organizations across Wisconsin. His crowning achievement was The Wisconsin Grassroots Festival which made its debut in 2010 and has attracted progressive activists to its exciting and information-filled programs for 15 years.
Sadly, Nate suffered a stroke early in 2023 and could no longer serve. Now, he takes his next step. Shortly, Nate will be leaving Madison for Plover WI where he'll be closer to his beloved grandchildren.
Safe travels, Nate. We wish you well in your new home. Know that you are in our hearts, now and always.
With respect, admiration, and love,
Wisconsin Grassroots Network
