Carley Hoelzel joined the WCWI team in April 2022 and previously served as Director of Growth and Partnerships for WCWI. In that role, she has developed strong networks within the community and has sought to expand visibility and brand awareness for the organization. Additionally, she has strategized to enhance alignment with stakeholders and organizations who have similar missions to ensure WCWI’s long-term success.

In March of 2023 Carley was announced as the new Executive Director for the Wellness Council of Wisconsin. She has a demonstrated record and unique skillset in strategic, forward-thinking planning, relationship building within and across teams, and growing organizational capacity and sustainability gained from nearly 10 years of experience in non-profit leadership. Her drive and passion for community health and wellness combined with her extensive experience has her uniquely positioned to advocate for employee health and well-being and remain a leader in her industry. 

Carley earned a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from UW Milwaukee and has held certifications in health and wellness-related fields since 2015. She serves as a community leader on the Board of Managers for the YMCA of Greater Waukesha County and volunteers on many statewide committees. When she's not at work or participating in community events, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, hiking and biking outdoors, and traveling whenever possible.

Casey Gonzalez serves as our Member Operations Manager. Casey joined the WCWI staff in May of 2022 and in that time she brought new life to the structure and processes that allow WCWI to serve our members to the best of our ability. She takes initiative to identify what’s going well and what can go better and quickly takes action. Casey prioritizes our members and their needs in all of her interactions. She's a strategic thinker with a strong sense of responsibility, a growth mindset, and dedication to WCWI’s mission. She is an incredible champion of employee wellness as she’s been a classroom teacher and a childcare administrator in previous roles and has a personal understanding of why an employee wellbeing strategy is essential for our workforce. Through this lens, she has a distinct compassion for and awareness of why WCWI’s mission is so important and lives that mission through member service every day.

Casey hopes her presence within WCWI will help business operations run smoothly and create a great experience for all members and their employees. Working together with members to enhance their partnerships and processes is one of Casey’s main goals, as well as helping to improve the overall membership experience.

When Casey isn’t “in the office”, she enjoys spending time with her kids at the zoo, baking, and watching her favorite movies or television shows.
