Another commissioner resigns from the SDC board | Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
Another commissioner is leaving the Social Development Commission board, as leaders continue to work on a restructuring plan, SDC attorney William Sulton said Friday.
Sulton said Serina Chavez, who was elected to represent SDC’s District 5 and serves as the board’s secretary, indicated that she planned to resign at the Board of Commissioners meeting Thursday at the African American Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin, 1920 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
He received her official resignation on Friday.
“She indicates in her correspondence that essentially that the work that’s necessary is beyond what she is able to commit,” Sulton said.
Chavez’s resignation follows the departure of four board members, including former board chair Elmer Moore Jr., since SDC suspended operations and laid off its employees in late April.
The all-volunteer board has met frequently since the spring to sort through new information and work on a plan to reopen SDC, handling its day-to-day operations.
Most of Thursday’s board meeting was spent in closed session.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
