Chamber Ambassador Spotlight: Brooke Knowles | |
|

What do you most enjoy about working in the Fox Cities?
What I enjoy most about working in the Fox Cities is that anyone can get involved and make a difference. You don’t have to be employed by a large company to participate in making an impact in the community. Small businesses are the backbone of the Fox Cities and being part of a small business myself, it is an amazing feeling to work alongside larger corporations to make a true difference in the community. The Fox Cities is such a special place; a place where one can really settle down, plant roots, and grow into an impactful person in the community.
Please share your favorite/most impactful moment as a Fox Cities Chamber Ambassador.
My favorite moments of being an Ambassador for the Fox Cities Chamber have been the ribbon cuttings. When we get the opportunity to meet the individuals who are making their dreams come true, whether they are opening a new business, or expanding a current business, watching the pride they have in their work is unmatchable. Growing up the daughter of parents who were entrepreneurs and people in business, I know how much work goes into those dreams behind the scenes. To be there to watch all of that hard work come to fruition for someone is the most amazing experience!

The Thought Leader: Sustainable Eco-Friendly Practices for Businesses on a Budget | |
|
Whether it’s from mounting pressure from your city or state, or requests from customers, the call for sustainability is growing louder. Small businesses, just like their larger counterparts, have a crucial role to play in reducing their ecological footprint. But for small businesses operating on tight budgets, embracing eco-friendly practices might seem like a daunting challenge.
Sustainability doesn’t have to break the bank. In fact, there are numerous creative ways in which you can make eco-friendly choices without draining your resources. And since part of sustainability is reducing waste, let’s not waste any time and get right to ways you can start making a change today.
