Walker Proclaims September to be Chamber of Commerce Month
|
The core services Wisconsin's 267 local chambers of commerce offer their members vary from village to town to city. But whether they focus on advocacy, tourism, economic development, entrepreneurship, young professionals, workforce or organizing community events, they all play an important role in our state that should be recognized.
That is why Governor Scott Walker has proclaimed September to be Chamber of Commerce Month in Wisconsin. Walker made the proclamation at the request of the Wisconsin Chambers of Commerce Executives (WCCE), a division of the State Chamber that offers professional development and advocacy for local chambers of commerce.
"Chambers are central to Wisconsin's local economies," said Philip Fritsche, president of the Beaver Dam Chamber of Commerce and WCCE Advisory Board Chair. "In most places, the chamber is involved in all major local decision making either as a facilitator or advocate for its members." Fritsche said that chambers are critical community partners and problem solvers with the unique ability to work with stakeholders from both the private and public sectors.
Chamber Month will culminate on September 27-29 with the annual WCCE Conference, which will be held in Neenah. At least 80 chamber professionals from around the state will attend.

Fox's Piggly Wiggly focuses on quality, community
Fox's Piggly Wiggly is proud to serve you from two locations on the lakeshore - one at 2300 Forest Ave. in Two Rivers and another at 1339 N. Eighth St. in Manitowoc.
Both stores are owned by Bob and Kris Fox, who became residents of Two Rivers when they purchased their first store there in 2005.
When the Manitowoc location became available for purchase, they saw a great opportunity to expand and subsequently acquired the store in 2011.
Fox currently employs 110 people at the Manitowoc location and 60 people at the Two Rivers store.
2015 brought the acquisition of a third location in Plymouth with 120 employees.
 Every Sunday in the Herald Times Reporter, The Chamber of Manitowoc County features members in "The Chamber Notebook" located on the front page of the Business section. This exposure is just another value-added opportunity with your Chamber membership.
For available dates, call our office at 920.684.5575 or email [email protected] to schedule your Chamber Notebook article.
