Ma rch 2026
From The Desk Of The CEO As we turn the calendar to March, it’s hard to believe how quickly this year is already moving. The promise of sunshine and the cheerful chirping of birds remind us that spring is right around the corner here in Sheboygan County. With a new season comes renewed energy, fresh opportunities, Deidre Martinez and meaningful moments of connection across our business community. First, a heartfelt shout-out to our Director of Events, Ellie Meyers, for delivering a truly fantastic Chamber Champions Gala. This year required some significant shifts, and Ellie navigated each adjustment with professionalism, creativity, and grace. The result was a stellar evening filled with celebration, networking, and well-deserved recognition for our nominees, award winners, sponsors, and guests. The Gala served as a powerful reminder of something we all know to be true: community matters. Our success as a region depends on our willingness to collaborate, partner, and champion one another. When we lean into partnership, our collective voice becomes stronger. As Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” That sentiment perfectly reflects the spirit of the evening—and the spirit of our Chamber. Early March also brings one of our most impactful workforce initiatives: Explore Your Future. This incredible program connects nearly 1,500 seventh and eighth grade students with local employers, giving them a hands-on glimpse into industries aligned with their interests and personalities. Spending intentional time with our future workforce and leaders is integral to building long-term success in Sheboygan County. It is imperative that we have both short-term and long-term strategies in place to engage and inspire our future workforce. Explore Your Future is a shining example of what happens when our business community comes together to invest in tomorrow. The conversations, mentorship, and exposure these students receive today help shape the opportunities and talent pipeline of the future.
Spring is on the way!
