Lisa Mauer, chief executive officer of Milwaukee-based Rickert Industries, was elected president of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation board of directors.

The board elected new officers at its meeting Thursday at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

Mauer replaces Dan Ariens, Ariens Co. president and CEO, who was elected vice chairman. Nancy Hernandez, president and founder of Milwaukee-based ABRAZO Multicultural Marketing and Communication, was re-elected secretary, and David Drury, a partner with Milwaukee-based Wing Capital Group, was re-elected treasurer.

Mauer has been on the board since 2011 and pledged to focus on the strategic positioning of WEDC “as it continues to grow and make a tremendous difference in Wisconsin’s economic development landscape.”
