Former St. Ambrose Board President Ken Ballweg is deeply committed to Catholic education, which he believes is the best way to form young people who are prepared to take on the challenges facing our world. Over the years, Ken has seen St. Ambrose challenge and equip students to grow in knowledge and develop the skills needed to persuasively dispel errors and champion truth, thus learning how to become part of the solution for themselves and for many who struggle. He looks forward to seeing the school grow and plant ever deeper roots in the community.

He is a major supporter of Edgewood High School and College and has served on the boards of St. Mary’s Hospital, Catholic Charities, and Camp Grey. Ken holds a degree in history from UW-Madison.
