Septem ber 2023
From The Desk Of The CEO “Don’t count the days, make the days count.” - Muhammad Ali I think most of us will agree that summer has moved far too quickly and we need to slow down time a Deidre Martinez bit. We have been quite busy at the chamber and do not expect it to slow down anytime soon. We have experienced lots of transitions with staff. Saying ‘goodbye’ is never easy, but we know that we hire awesome people, so it only makes sense that others would also recognize their potential and want to provide them with growth opportunities. We have also welcomed new team members to the chamber, and I hope you have had a chance to meet them. As we work through these times of transition, we are excited about what new ideas and opportunities may arise in the coming months. In late August, we hosted the annual Workforce Development Symposium, welcoming more than 100 educators and employers from throughout Sheboygan County to learn and grow together. We heard updates from the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development and Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation. We also learned from our partners at MRA about generational differences in the workplace and Dave Hataj of Edgerton Gear about the Craftsman with Character program. The State of Wisconsin continues to have a labor participation higher than the national average, with an unemployment rate significantly lower than the national average, and therefore, we must be proactive and creative in our attraction and retention efforts. The annual symposium also gave us an opportunity to celebrate Educator of the Year, Ted Schermetzler, Tech Ed
