The President's Perspective


Forward Together

On behalf of the Fox Cities Chamber Board of Directors and the staff, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued investment and confidence in the Chamber and the Fox Cities Regional Partnership. Your patience in helping us develop the next phase of our business development efforts here in the Fox Cities Region will pay dividends in the future. Now more than ever, business and community leaders must come together to find unique and innovative ways to focus on our economy and the success of our members and investors.  

We anticipate 2018 will be a year of transformation. We will focus targeted efforts to expand our economic development programs and our membership services highlighting specific areas of growth with Chamber programs reflecting new visions, refined strategies and a focus on membership success.

Our recent membership survey along with the information collected from hundreds of personal visits with members and investors over the past several months has caused us to take a hard look at what we must do to remain relevant. 

In the year ahead, we will be building on some current key objectives and expanding on others to benefit our members. Our focus will center around several key initiatives among which will include business growth and prosperity, workforce development, member development, public policy and visibility and placemaking.

Our Chamber Board of Directors and various councils and committees will be analyzing and evaluating all of our programs to make sure we are providing the greatest value to ALL of our members and investors. We are hopeful that you will see the benefits of belonging to and supporting this great organization and find places where you will fit into these plans.

We are focused on providing value for your investment and sharing solutions to meet your business needs. We have an excellent staff ready to assist you with programs and events that address and solve your business challenges. They are the key to our success and I am confident we can deliver relevant, valuable and timely assistance to our members and investors.

Thank you for your partnership and for all you do. Your support is appreciated. Let’s move forward together.

Gratefully,

Bob Mundt, President/CEO
