NEWSLETTER
January-February 2022
Greetings!
Happy Valentines Day! As each year passes by, my hope is that we can all be kinder, nicer and more grateful to each other. Let's spread the love to our businesses, customers, family & friends everyday, not just on Valentines Day!
As the snow starts to melt lets rejoice that it is already February and the winter is almost over. We have made it through November, December and January so the worst is all behind us. Less than two months left of winter. Chin up!

The MEDC has a new "Chair"
Suzette Murray
Assistant VP of Education & Workforce Development at Waubonsee Community College

The MEDC is very fortunate to have such a great group of volunteers and leaders in the community who serve on our Board of Director's. We cannot thank you enough for all you do to help and support our organization and our community! Thank you so much!
Suzette Murray has been on the MEDC Board for almost four years. Waubonsee Community College plays a significant role in the entire region. The supply and demand in the workforce has been the number one issue Nationwide for all employers. In her role at the college, Suzette and her team have been supporting our business community for well over 20 years. Developing an educated and trained workforce is a priority. There could not have been a better match to lead the MEDC. Thank you Suzette for stepping up. We look forward to the continued partnership with the college and your leadership.
Doug Marecek
Village of Montgomery Trustee & Previous MEDC Chair
Doug, has been the Chair of the MEDC for almost three years. When Dr. Neil Schlupp retired after serving on the MEDC Board as Chair over 9 years, we knew it would be tough filling his shoes. Doug jumped right in, in spite of his many other commitments in the community. Thank you Doug for all you have done and all you do!
Thanks to all of our members for their continued support!
