CEO Breakfast
This sold out event put four stellar area leaders in front of over 150 young professionals and community members. The panelists include Dr. Ashok Rai (PREVEA Health), Tom Boldt (The Boldt Company), President Laurie Carter (Lawrence University), and John Schmidt (U.S. Venture). The CEOs shared insight on their respective fields, gave advice to those looking to move up the corporate ladder, and told their own stories on how they got to where they are now. “If you never take a chance, you’ll never have a chance” – John Schmidt, U.S. Venture.
“Attending the CEO Breakfast generated motivation and inspiration for peers and myself," said Erich Trepanier from Fireline Sprinkler LLC. "The opportunity to observe local business leaders discuss their personal paths to success was invaluable. Each panelist provided noteworthy testimonies of guidance, views, and quotes. I will certainly be in the audience in the future!”
Thank you again to our sponsor, PREVEA Health, for helping us to put on this incredible event! We can’t wait to see you all again at the CEO Breakfast in 2024. For now, check out our photos from the 2023 breakfast here.

Meet Kayla Fischer
Community Outreach Specialist
SCHEELS
Meet Kayla Fischer! Kayla is a graduate of Hortonville High School who explored her options at UW Fox Valley before continuing on to UW Oshkosh where she earned her Bachelors of Science in Communication Studies. She loves to travel to warm locations – one of her favorites being San Antonio because of the heat and chips and salsa.
Where to do you work?
“I work at SCHEELS as their Community Outreach Specialist. My family always joked about how good I was at spending money, so I found a career that let me do just that! I get to oversee all of our partnership and donation efforts. At SCHEELS, we donate a portion of our sales right back into the Fox Cities community every year.”
Kayla remains in the Fox Cities due to the strong relationships that she has made along with finding a career that coincides with her goals and vision. On her day off, you may find Kayla at a coffee shop, reading a book, or if it’s nice outside, you’ll find her hiking or kayaking.
What has been your favorite PULSE event so far?
“I'm still pretty new to PULSE, but my favorite event thus far has been the Night at the Museum. I've lived in the area for about 20 years, and I've never been to or learned much about the Hearthstone Historic House Museum. It was such an insightful opportunity and something I don't think I would have checked out otherwise!”
If you’d like to connect with Kayla, reach out on LinkedIn.
