The chairman of equity asset management and equity capital markets with Baird until 2019, William Mahler led the company's Institutional Equities Business division to growth in 17 consecutive years. Outside of his professional responsibilities, William Mahler supports various charitable organizations, among them the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, specifically the Herma Heart Institute.

The state's largest pediatric cardiac care center , the Herma Heart Institute at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin treats complex cases of congenital heart disease from before birth through adulthood. To accommodate families of patients, the center provides resources such as the sibling care program, which offers creative arts therapies and support for the siblings of children undergoing treatment.

While care focuses on the patient, siblings can often feel neglected and overlooked. When children visit their siblings in the hospital, a child life specialist can prepare them for what to expect and help them better understand their sibling's healthcare needs. The specialist might work with the sibling to create photo posters or cards for the patient's hospital room, or the sibling might visit the Playroom of Hope to take a break with toys or books.

An active member of his community, William Mahler has served on the finance committee with Casa Romero.

A multicultural and bilingual spirituality center, Casa Romero provides educational programming to help young people create connections in their community. The organizations' Urban Immersion Program, for example, helps young people develop awareness and cultural sensitivity surrounding a number of urban issues. The Urban Plunge invites groups of students, parish groups, or campus ministry programs to engage in prayer and reflection, as well as to visit local agencies and participate in service projects, all aimed at broadening perspectives on issues such as hunger and homelessness.

The Urban Plunge allows participants to reflect on poverty rates among different demographics, and to examine common stereotypes they may hold of people living in poverty. Working as a group they can then discuss potential ways they may be of service to urban populations who are experiencing homelessness and hunger.

Following several years as the chairman of Baird Equity Asset Management, William Mahler has become involved with several local civic organizations. William Mahler is the current president of the Crab Lake Conservation Foundation (CLCF), a nature-focused group operating in Presque Isle, Wisconsin.

The CLCF promotes policies and initiatives that protect the habitat and ecology of Crab Lake, a clear freshwater lake in Vilas County, Wisconsin. As part of these efforts, CLCF produced an in-depth report outlining the introduction of Yellow Flag Iris, an invasive plant species that first appeared in the lake in 2017.

It's blieved that the plant was first introduced to the area as a measure against erosion. However, it has since become overgrown and covers large swaths of the lake. This has caused multiple issues, including the fact that the plant secretes a toxic substance that is unsafe for humans. The iris also makes it difficult for native plant species to thrive.

This impacts local fish and bird populations. The plant's tangled stems and roots block natural water flow and may spread to other bodies of water. In addition to mapping out sites where the Yellow Iris is sprouting, the CLCF has also conducted major abatement projects to remove and reduce the plant's concentration on the lake.
