Peggy Sue McNulty

Peggy Sue McNulty, 25, a 2003 graduate of the University of Wisconsin – Madison, received her degree in International Relations and Political Science. Peggy Sue grew up in Slinger on converted Wisconsin farm land and became familiarized with the agriculture industry through her friends from neighboring farms. She learned firsthand the ins and outs of Wisconsin farm life through her coursework in Dairy Science while at UW-Madison. It was here that she developed a passion for agriculture and confirmed her appreciation of the Wisconsin way of life. She volunteered as a mentor to help acclimatize international students to Wisconsin culture and was awarded an ‘International Leadership Certificate’ by the University. Peggy Sue spent her junior year in Freiburg, Germany and traveled extensively throughout 13 countries during her tenure there.

After graduating from UW-Madison she continued her quest of higher education and moved to Milwaukee to pursue an M.B.A at Marquette University in the evenings while working full time as a Business Development Representative for a West Allis company. Less than a year subsequent to working in her position she was selected to serve businesses in West Allis/West Milwaukee as the 2005 Miss West Allis/West Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce. In this capacity Peggy Sue has been able to speak for and encourage local business initiatives through charity functions, business expos and community events. Peggy Sue completed her M.B.A. in December 2005 and continues to work in West Allis for Staff One Ltd. as a Business Development Account Manager.

In her free time she is the Co-Chair for the Annual Sleighbell Luncheon which raises money for Children’s Hospital. She also finds enjoyment in running and was a 2005 Boston Marathon Qualifier.

McNulty looks forward to the opportunity to represent the agriculture industry. "There is so much that I genuinely adore about my home state of Wisconsin. I am sincerely excited about contributing my business background, fresh perspective and sincere love for Wisconsin to this well respected position” she said.
