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.

Celebrating

2017 Award Recipients

Fox Cities Business Leaders

From left to right: Nathan Litt, Don Herrmann, Doris Ng & Alice Ng, Debra Michiels, Tom Prosser, Kathi Seifert, Rick Parks, Donna Gehl The Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce, and presenting sponsor Bank First National, honored several business leaders during their annual awards ceremony – The EVENT: Celebrating Business Excellence on November 9th. Individuals recognized have a unique blend of vision, energy, perseverance and skill and they have demonstrated outstanding

achievements in operating businesses as well as leadership in the community.

The Fox Cities Chamber is proud to recognize these individuals for their many contributions to the community. They have dedicated themselves as professionals and volunteers to the well-being of the Fox Cities.

Business Hall of Fame Inductees Debra Michiels - Owner (retired), Fox Banquets & Rivertyme Catering

Tom Prosser – Partner, Dunsirn Partners, LLC

As one of nine children whose parents owned a restaurant, you could say that Debra Michiels has been in the hospitality business her entire life. After working with her family for twelve years, she was ready to step out on her own.

Upon graduating from college, on the advice of her father, she began to invest in the stock market. In 1986, she bought the Elks Lodge on Kimball Street using her stock market earnings.

Over the next 30 years, she turned Fox Banquets & Rivertyme Catering into a thriving Downtown Appleton business. Many of her staff worked with her for 20+ of those 30 years. She officially retired in January 2016.

Debra is always first to say “yes” to a worthy cause. It is her belief that part of running a business is to donate generously back to the community. The number and variety of organizations that are the recipients of her nostrings-attached donations highlights her conviction.

Over the years, Debra has served on many boards including the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce, Fox Valley Humane Association, St. Elizabeth Hospital and YMCA. She has also won numerous awards including Small Business of the Year, ATHENA®, Champion of the Chamber, Entrepreneur of the Year and Appleton Downtown Inc.’s Downtown Business of the Year.

Tom’s respected career includes his leadership in several organizations throughout the Fox Cities along with his dedicated involvement within many projects that have, and continue to, impact the community.

Tom grew up in Antigo where his father and uncle owned a potato farm. He attended the University of Wisconsin - Madison and graduated with a degree in Agriculture Economics expecting to take over the potato operation in Antigo, however, that didn’t work for him. Tom shifted his focus from being a borrower of money to a lender of money.

In 1962, Prosser began a 17-year career in commercial banking with the Marine Corporation, serving as CEO of national banks in both Waukesha and Neenah, which brought him to the Fox Cities in 1969.

Tom helped TJ Hoffmaster purchase the Hoffmaster Company in Oshkosh in 1999 as an investor and served as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. After the sale of Hoffmaster to Scott Paper, Tom joined Robert W Baird & Co. as a Vice President - Investment Banking.

Tom was asked by Menasha Corporation to join its Board of Directors in 1992, where he later served as Chairman of the Board and CEO, retiring in 2004.

During his active career Tom served on a number of boards and leadership positions including: Dunsirn Partners, Plexus Corporation, First National Bank Fox Valley and

Fox Cities Business Winter 2017

First Menasha Bancshares, UW Madison Athletic Board, President of UW Madison Alumni Association, ThedaCare and Theda Clark Foundation, YMCA, Community Foundation of the Fox Valley Region, Fox Cities Performing Arts Center and as an investor in several small businesses.

Tom has given his all to our community for over 40 years and has left his fingerprint embedded in the community through projects under his direct leadership. He was instrumental in helping our area YMCA’s build and grow to serve those in our community. He raised awareness, and many dollars, to have achieved the YMCA’s Leadership Award, one of the YMCA’s highest honors.

ATHENA® Leadership Award Donna Gehl – President, Image Studios Donna began her career at Image Studios in 1989 working in various areas of the business while producing small and large scale commercial photo shoots. In just a short time she advanced into a new role as Sales Representative garnering the respect of her co-workers, attracting new customers regionally and nationally. Since becoming President and CEO in 2007, Donna worked to expand creative services from Commercial Photography to Video Production and Computer Generated Imagery. In just the last several years, Image has produced over 2,000 broadcast and corporate video productions.

Donna was awarded the Inspirational Leader of the Year Award in 2014 for The Executive Committee (TEC) Small Companies in Wisconsin and Michigan. She was recognized then for her ability to lead her company through challenging times, where she worked hard to find new business opportunities while maintaining the long-term business relationships with accounts like Kohler, CVS, Oshkosh Corporation, Yamaha, and Mills Fleet Farm. Donna was proud to host community leaders, customers, vendors and employees with a 50 year celebration for Image Studios in 2015.

Donna and her staff believe in the power of change, supporting many non-profits and charitable groups in Northeast Wisconsin tackling big issues from mental health, poverty, homelessness and women’s issues. Donna has dedicated nearly 30 years to helping for-profit and not for profit groups tell their story through dynamic imagery and compelling stories, captured through photography and video, all with the help of her talented and award winning team at Image Studios.

Champion of the Chamber Award Rick Parks – Regional Director, Modern Woodmen of America Rick Parks, Regional Director at Modern Woodmen of America, has been a dedicated and influential Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce Ambassador since 2012 and a member of the Board of Directors since 2015. He serves on the Executive Council as the Chair for the Membership Committee.

Rick holds a CPA license in both Texas and Wisconsin as well as the Fraternal Insurance Counselor Fellow designation (FICF), the Life Underwriters Training Council Fellow (LUTCF), and the Certified Fraternal Field Manager designation (CFFM). Rick is a member of the Fox Valley Estate Planning Council in dual roles as a Financial Advisor and Certified Public Accountant.

He currently serves as President of the Wisconsin Fraternal Insurance Council, which is an organization made up of all 43 Fraternal Companies licensed to do business in the State of Wisconsin to the approximate 577,000 members.

Throughout the years, Rick has been dedicated to making an impact in the community. Rick’s involvement in several notable projects have benefitted organizations through the Matching Fund Projects with Modern Woodmen of America.

In the five years since moving to Appleton to establish the Modern Woodmen of America Parks Firm, Rick and his team have helped raise over $500,000 for a direct impact in the Fox Valley community. They are a Financial Advising Firm built to give back to the communities where we live, work and play.

TALENT

COLLABORATIVE

Talent Collaborative Welcomes Teerlinck as Chair The Fox Cities Chamber is excited to have the support of Scott Teelinck, CEO/President of Werner Electric Supply as he steps into the role as chair of the Talent Collaborative.

A message from Scott: “We are privileged to work and live in an area with such a great quality of life, excellent schools, and friendly and helpful neighbors that are so supportive of one another. I feel truly fortunate to be part of this community, and could not be happier to call this HOME for both Werner Electric Supply as well as for my family.

That being said, our company is facing challenges with employee recruitment.

This is especially true for positions within our regional distribution center in Appleton and many of our warehouses across Wisconsin. As we share our challenges with other business leaders, we have learned that many others are facing similar challenges in finding and hiring employees for manufacturing, assembly, and construction jobs.

As we work to address this challenge at Werner Electric, we have recognized an equal opportunity to help other businesses in our area.

More specifically, we have learned that providing a stronger and more effective linkage between local businesses and area high schools can make a significant difference for many of us. As a member of the Fox

The Talent Collaborative of the Fox Cities Chamber is comprised of both business and education partners throughout the Fox Cities. We believe that no single agency or organization can achieve an effective workforce system alone. With that understanding, the Talent Collaborative pursues new ways to align resources and efforts to develop partnerships with: employers, economic development groups, K-12 school districts, post-secondary institutions, government and community organizations to increase its ability to anticipate, adapt and respond to workforce needs, current and future, in the Fox Valley.

Our mission is to identify and support innovative and sustainable strategies that will lead to developing, attracting and retaining a skilled, motivated and responsive workforce.

Cities Chamber Board of Directors and chair of the Talent Collaborative, I am very excited to focus efforts to increase the outreach local businesses have within our area schools.

Through numerous discussions, we have learned that area school district Superintendents appreciate the increased visibility of jobs available to their students.

They are also interested in having more opportunities for students to experience “real world” work settings, which will help students make career decisions prior to graduation.

I am excited to be part of the Talent Collaborative and believe we can help area businesses and area school districts alike with programs that are impactful and mutually beneficial.”

Scott Teerlinck CEO/President Werner Electric Supply

The Talent Collaborative of the Fox Cities Chamber works on innovative solutions to help area businesses attract, develop and retain much needed talent. Pictured are a few ways in which students in K-12 local school districts have experienced the “real world� of work in 2017.

Approximately 100 females experienced a day of STEM with 14 stations at Miron Construction Co., Inc. Plexus hosted students from the Little Chute Career Pathways Academy for a tour of their manufacturing facility. Pierce is currently hosting a 9-week hands-on interactive program that will introduce the process of building a fire truck. Faith Technologies has scheduled six day-long shadow experiences where students explore a variety of career opportunities within Faith.

Event Attendees

20,000+ Including 3 Bazaar After Dark night markets

2017 PULSE highlights BAZAAR AFTER DARK “Bazaar After Dark is a fun, energetic, and vibrant way to be out and involved in this great community. It provides great exposure for our business, the chance to interact with current and potential customers, and an opportunity to meet other business owners/representatives.”

–Kimberly Finnell, Osorio’s Latin Fusion

2017 saw three Bazaar After Dark Fox Cities Night Market events in Kaukauna, Menasha, and back where it all began, on East Wisconsin Avenue in Appleton. Fire breathers, jugglers, hula-hoopers, food trucks, aerial dancers, local artists, live music, local beer, and positive community vibes brought together crowds in the thousands from the Fox Cities and beyond.

In partnership with Habitat for Humanity’s Rock the Block Neighborhood Builds, Bazaar After Dark continues to be dedicated to revitalizing and drawing positive attention to underappreciated business districts in every corner of the Fox Cities, while fostering community collaborations through art, music, and common experiences under the warm glow of Edison bulbs.

Bazaar After Dark is returning in 2018 with more unique night market experiences that will continue to support and reflect the communities that surround them.

Fox Cities FUTURE 15 “I love this community! It is so fun to see so many familiar names, friends, leaders, and power hitters! What a ballot to choose from.

When I first found out about Pulse and Future 15 I wanted to find these people, know them, and work beside them. Now I get to call many of them friends!”

-Emily Polzin, Appleton

The Fox Cities is home to thousands of young professionals who excel not only within their respective places of employment but also give back to our community in innumerable ways. These professionals shine new light on their diverse fields and positively influence our quality of life in the Fox Cities, an influence that plays an integral role in attracting and retaining talent in the area. Our 2017 Fox Cities Future 15 class fully embodied the professional dedication, strong sense of vision for the future of the Fox Cities, and personal commitment to philanthropy recognized by the award.

The 7th Annual Future 15 Awards ceremony, hosted at the historic Hortonville Opera House, highlighted the award recipients and honored Nathan Litt as the 2017 Young Professional of the Year.

YPWEEK “I can’t speak for everyone who attended YPWeek events, but I learned a lot and met some great people. Through these events geared toward young professionals, we can meet people who have been down similar roads and learn from their experiences. We also can meet people who are totally different from us, which is equally valuable. Beyond that, I left each session feeling hopeful about the future. For all the doom and gloom in the world, we — the often criticized millennials — want to make our communities better places.”

–Jen Zettel, Appleton Post-Crescent

For the third consecutive year, the Fox Cities participated in this one-of-a-kind statewide initiative, YPWeek.

Through a collaboration between NEWaukee and WEDC, YPWeek brings each community together at purposefully chosen locations that integrate unique cultural assets with meaningful learning or social interaction. The dedicated week engages the millennial workforce through important experiences, while educating employers on the critical role these functions play in engaging their young workforce.

With 13 events spread over the course of eight days, we wholeheartedly embraced this attraction and retention strategy. Young professionals had a variety of opportunities to immerse themselves in the community through the first Fox Cities SOUP event (Support of Urban Projects), an evening with Storycatchers highlighting the service industry, a bus tour of local cheese-makers, a call to action for venture capital in Wisconsin, legislative issue symposiums surrounding immigration and marijuana legalization, and much more.

The week’s events saw over 6,000 attendees locally with 25 communities participating state-wide. We can’t wait to do it again in 2018.

ATTRACTING Much Needed Talent Our largest focus at the Fox Cities Regional Partnership, the economic development division of the Fox Cities Chamber, is our Business Retention and Expansion program. We conduct over 100 visits to existing Fox Cities employers annually to ask them about any challenges they may have affecting their growth and if there are opportunities they would like to take advantage of.

Many employers have told us over the years that they are having an increasingly difficult time recruiting entry-level talent to their IT and engineering departments. This is not a challenge unique to the Fox Cities; as baby boomers retire and Generation Xers move into more senior positions, companies around the United States are competing for the best and the brightest students coming out of college.

As we know, this market is competitive. We developed Talent Upload, a program for area employers, where we promote a three-day event for students to explore first-hand the Fox Cities and its superior employers. For this year’s event, students were required to complete a survey regarding what they value from a job perspective as well as a “quality-of-life” and how important those factors are when selecting a place to begin their careers.

We began by asking the students if they planned on choosing a community in which to live prior to looking for a job there, or if they planned on finding a job first and then looking for a community neighborhood that was nearby. As you can see in the chart to the right, most of the students were looking for the right job—then choosing where to live. We often hear that millennials do just the opposite, so this was interesting.

We then asked the students what the most important factors are to them when choosing a job. The students had four options to choose from regarding each factor. Outlined in the chart to the right are the factors that students identified as “very important” or “deal breaker”.

These responses were not necessarily shocking.

Much like the factors students look at when considering a job, we asked what was most important to them regarding a community in which to live. Outlined in the chart to the right are the factors that students identified as “very important” or “deal breaker”.

Many of the options ranked close to what we predicted—of course, young people want recreational options. We were surprised, however, to see that some factors generally considered to be more appreciated by a “more mature” demographic, such as high-quality healthcare, a good public education system, and low crime, are VERY important to these students.

This information may be useful for employers in our region when speaking with potential employees, as the Fox Cities is very competitive with many of the factors listed as important to many of the students.

Not All Leads Are Created Equal Sales leads - The interest shown by sales leads implies they are closer to making a purchase than marketing leads. Where a marketing lead may visit your website from an e-newsletter link, a sales lead visits multiple key pages or invests in long-format content like whitepapers and e-books.

Treating all your leads the same can limit the efficiency of your marketing and sales teams. We’ve found companies experience a higher conversion rate when they properly categorize and respond to leads. The first step—defining basic rules to distinguish between three categories of leads: basic leads, marketing leads, and sales leads.

Basic leads - Basic leads have never demonstrated behavior that implies interest in your products and services. Maybe you purchased these leads or imported them from a list of trade show attendees.

Quick tip: For the moment, it’s not worthwhile to invest individual attention on these leads. Assign them to a nurture campaign like a quarterly e-newsletter. You’ll stay in front of them without draining valuable marketing and sales resources.

Quick tip: As the name implies, sales leads are ready for nextlevel attention. Assign these leads to your sales staff so they can identify and scope the initial opportunities that will lead to new sales.

The fastest way to improve the value of your leads is to distinguish between basic leads, marketing leads, and sales leads. If this falls outside your expertise, external resources can help optimize this process for the specific challenges of your business.

Element is a full-service advertising agency that provides a unique blend of in-house services that combine traditional marketing and interactive strategies. They have offices in De Pere and Neenah.

Marketing leads - Unlike basic leads, marketing leads have demonstrated an observable interest in what you sell. This might include inbound leads who clicked a PPC ad or visited your website after a Google search. Marketing leads also comprise basic leads who graduate to the next level, such as tradeshow leads who visit your booth, or e-newsletter recipients who click a link to visit your website.

Quick tip: Step up your marketing efforts to these leads. In addition to nurturing campaigns, send them personalized invitations to webinars or thought leadership pieces. Track their engagement and determine when their activity advances them to sales leads.

“What’s the most important thing you learned in 2017 that will improve your business in 2018?” with the PROFESSIONALS

What I learned in 2017 is that relationships still matter and search engines can be beat!

There has been a ton written about how to work with millennials and what makes them tick. Let’s do away with the labels….and simply embrace the fact that if you sell a product, you need to sell “the way your customer (that individual customer) wants to buy!” I believe deep down, people need people and want relationships…even millennials! Oops, sorry no labels!

With it becoming harder and harder to find qualified employees, companies need to do more with less - meaning the work load for many is expanding. I believe this bodes well for people in sales. If you really understand your customers and their needs plus you are efficient, professional, and fun to work with - you should be able to beat the internet search engines!

Fox Cities Business Winter 2017

See something, say something. I’ve repeated this to myself over and over in 2017. I’ve learned the hard way that if you don’t say something when it needs to be said, you may end up regretting it later on.

Over the years, I’ve had passing thoughts that I didn’t say out loud when I should have, be it good or bad.

Perhaps it’s telling my family I love them or providing advice to a client they don’t want to hear. Whatever the case, I try to deliver the message with confidence, empathy and context.

Now I find myself embracing the opportunity to speak up. We have one shot at this life and I intend to make the most of it.

Lisa Cruz President Red Shoes PR, Inc.

The most important thing wasn’t so much learned as it was confirmed—our employees are our greatest assets.

There were several moments in 2017 where tragedy consumed the news. At Hoffman, we choose to focus on our communities during these difficult times. Through our employees sharing of their time, talents, and treasures, I witnessed the positive impact it had not only on our employees, but on our communities and neighborhoods as well. As advocates for our communities, we will continue to focus on giving back and creating positive movements. And while this effort will add to our company morale and culture and make us a more compassionate and better business, more importantly, it will make our communities better places to live.

High-Tech AT YOUR TECH Groundbreaking innovations keep Fox Valley Technical College in a league of world-class

Contributed by: Chris Jossart • Manager, Media Relations Fox Valley Technical College • jossart@fvtc.edu

When you mix innovation and instructional experience in a blender and pour the end concoction into a bottomless glass of opportunity, what does it look like?

Consistently strong graduate employment to meet the needs of area employers is an accurate response to the question. That formula for building our region’s workforce is called Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC).

In 2017, FVTC welcomed two major innovations to its winning formula in order to sustain talent growth for local employers.

New IT Center of Excellence In March, FVTC unveiled its expanded Information Technology (IT) Center of Excellence in the northwest part of the Appleton campus.

The renovations consisted of: • Two pod-designed classrooms with wall-to-wall IDEA paint, large multi-media screens, and conjoined desktops for face-to-face interaction • An expanded networking lab with data center • Flexible learning lecture rooms and enhanced help desk lab • A computer support classroom furnished with tear-down computers • Both faculty- and student-maker labs with 3D printing capabilities for designing and building projects The renovations align with growing demands for IT professionals throughout the region. Per month, there is an average of 30 full-time job postings for IT workers in Northeast Wisconsin, according to the college’s most recent graduate employment report.

Virtual Engine Rebrands Industry Students in FVTC’s Diesel Technology programs can now troubleshoot an engine anywhere from any angle while getting a closer look at its inner workings like never before.

Thanks to the innovative design work of Tou Xiong and Josh Janikowski of the college’s Learning Innovations team, a new virtual reality engine is now part of its Diesel Technology programs. The engine responds to voice commands and includes a number of advanced vantage points to optimize the learning experience. For example, the shell of the engine is removable by voice command so learners can gain a personal view of operating parts like a crankshaft, pistons, valves, connecting rods, and more.

Diesel Tech Instructor Jay Duca originated the idea. He believes the engine will get people excited about choosing diesel technology as a career.

Currently there are 23 local full-time job postings per month for diesel technicians, according to Wisconsin TechConnect.

SERVICES

Helping Our Members Succeed

Small Business Programming

The Member Services team at the Fox Cities Chamber was formed in 2016 to provide members with high-quality education, valuable tools, accredited resources, mentoring and networking opportunities to empower and promote success.

Business Breakfast Bytes

BUSINESS BREAKFAST

B Y T E S

Once a month, from September through May, the Fox Cities Chamber provides Business Breakfast Bytes. These are educational sessions geared to tackle questions of concern for small to mediumsized businesses. In 2017, the sessions focused on topics such as exit planning, cybersecurity, and policies for every business, with each presentation growing in awareness and attendance. Business Breakfast Bytes are now drawing up to 50 attendees each month.

Small Business Workshops

SMALL BUSINESS WORKSHOP

Small Business Workshops allow us to help our small and mid-sized business members address concerns and identify solutions for their organization. Each workshop is comprised of several sessions in order to cover the degree of information on each topic while providing turnkey tools for attendees to utilize immediately in their business.

Two workshops are typically offered each year – one in the Spring and one in Fall. The Spring workshop, titled “The Numbers”, featured Don Herrmann from Herrmann Advantage Consulting, LLC. Herrmann provided information on budgets, calculating value stream, and key points of process improvement.

“Don’s workshop was absolutely eye-opening and reassuring. He took a topic that most small business owners avoid, and was able to teach in a way that was easy to understand.”

- Kimberly Stoeger, Owner, Nutritional Healing, LLC

BConnected facilitated the Fall workshop “Social Daze”, and explained how to strategically use Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook to better promote your company and interact with customers across social media platforms.

“I really enjoyed the Social Daze Workshop. Our instructor was extremely knowledgeable, interesting and easy to learn from. As we were going through the different topics each week, we were able to apply the information directly to our own business pages while he was talking - which was really helpful. After the sessions, I was able to decide if each platform was worth our time and then was able to figure out how to best use the accounts to benefit our business. The cost of the sessions paid for itself with all of the knowledge that I gained on the first day, everything after that was a bonus!”

- Rebecca Jackson, Marketing & Event Coordinator, Appleton Harley-Davidson

Reasons to Check Out a

Mobile Wallet

A mobile wallet refers to the apps that allow you to pay with your phone, including Android Pay, Samsung Pay and Apple Pay. These apps store your credit, debit or prepaid card information securely on their servers and allow you to pay for purchases in-store or online without having to swipe your card or enter your information. Beyond convenience, there are some good reasons to consider taking advantage of the technology.

• Security – Mobile wallet apps do not send your card information to complete a transaction. Instead, a unique code is generated to send your data to the merchant. This means the digital risk for information being compromised is low. There is also a decreased risk from a physical security perspective. Having a wallet lost or stolen doesn’t leave you with any protection from your cards being used. If you lose your phone, your mobile wallet still requires a PIN to unlock on top of the password you already have on your phone.

• Online Shopping – We live in the age where a few taps can get you almost anything you want, but that means we’re constantly entering credit card information into our go-to shopping websites or even storing that information on accounts we created. Using a mobile wallet when you’re shopping from your phone means you can enter your card details with a few convenient taps and perhaps eliminate the need to create an account and store these details with a retailer, reducing the inherent risk of your credit card information being stored in multiple locations.

• Rewards – Your mobile wallet can be a one-stop shop for everything you need at the checkout, including those loyalty points. Many retailers let you load your reward card right into your mobile wallet so you won’t need to use multiple apps or pull out your trusty key tags.

24

Fox Cities Business Winter 2017

A couple caveats to consider. Your bank has to support the use of these apps and while hundreds of financial institutions offer the functionality it is not yet ubiquitous. Another more obvious consideration, your phone has to be charged. If you’re constantly running on low battery, you’ll want to have a backup option or a portable charger at the ready.

Cellcom is an innovative wireless company that provides nationwide service for its customer base throughout Wisconsin and Michigan, with more than 50 retail and agent locations. Cellcom is respected for its long-standing reputation of delivering extraordinary customer care, being a strong community partner, and for its renowned network, which is customized to its rural markets. As a subsidiary of Nsight, Cellcom is part of a family of companies offering complete telecommunications services.

WELCOME New Members August – October 2017

The Fox Cities Chamber relies on members to continue its work in promoting business interests in the Fox Cities Region. Without these committed members, the Chamber would not be able to provide the high quality services it is known for.

More than 150,000 people flocked to downtown College Avenue for the celebration.

For the second year in a row, a special collection of high-end vehicles were showcased at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, this time featuring a variety of Ford models, old and new. Many of the vehicles were valued at over a million dollars!

The two-day event boasts five stages of continuous music; a family fun area with stage entertainment, play equipment and much more; over 150 skilled artisans with unique, handcrafted items in the arts and crafts area, and food up and down College Avenue to satisfy everyone’s tastes. Octoberfest is an annual tradition for the 700+ volunteers who make the event possible, the attendees who want a relaxing day of fun with family and friends and for nonprofits to raise much needed revenue.

YOURVOICE Advocating for pro-business policy in the Fox Cities

Economic Impact of Foxconn Will Be Felt Statewide Contributed by: Scott Manley Senior Vice President of Government Relations, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce To characterize Foxconn’s decision to invest $10 billion in Wisconsin to create 13,000 manufacturing jobs in Racine County as historic would be an understatement.

It’s difficult to comprehend the magnitude of this investment and what it will mean for Wisconsin’s economy because we’ve never seen anything like it before in Wisconsin. It is the largest economic development project in Wisconsin history.

The 20 million square foot campus – the size equivalent of seven Empire State Buildings – will employ 10,000 construction workers over a period of four to six years to build the massive facilities. But, those won’t be the only construction jobs. Imagine how many new houses, restaurants, banks, clinics, etc. will need to be built in the areas surrounding the Mount Pleasant campus to accommodate 13,000 families working for Foxconn.

Beyond the 13,000 high-paying manufacturing jobs, it’s estimated that 22,000 other jobs will be created as the rippling impacts of the investment induce additional employment at first tier and second tier suppliers to Foxconn, and the many service sector businesses that will be necessary to support such a large operation.

Although Racine County will certainly be the epicenter of this growth, the positive economic impact will be felt statewide. For example, a recent study predicts the Foxconn project will increase our statewide economic output by $5.2 billion each year. That’s a massive increase.

Perhaps the largest statewide impact will be Foxconn’s supply chain purchases from Wisconsin companies. Foxconn is expected to purchase $1.4 billion in goods and services from businesses in our state each year.

To put that number into perspective, Oshkosh Corporation serves as a great example.

According to data from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, Oshkosh Corporation makes about $297 million of supply chain purchases in Wisconsin each year. Those purchases are made from 700 companies located in 140 different communities spanning 43 different counties.

28

Fox Cities Business Winter 2017

The economic impact of Oshkosh Corporation reverberates across nearly twothirds of the counties located in Wisconsin, despite its primary operations occurring in the Fox Valley. Families from all over Wisconsin benefit from this manufacturing activity. Yet, Foxconn’s supply chain purchases will be almost five-times the size of Oshkosh Corporation’s. It’s clear that Foxconn’s decision to create a hightech ecosystem in Southeast Wisconsin will positively impact communities throughout our state.

Although we believe the benefits of the Foxconn investment are clear, taxpayers are rightly focused on ensuring they are protected with regard to the incentives Wisconsin has offered to attract the company to our state.

Foxconn has the opportunity to earn up to $3 billion in tax incentives, but they will only earn that much if they invest at least $9 billion in capital construction and create at least 13,000 jobs. The agreement is structured as a pay-as-you-grow incentive, so tax benefits only accrue in direct proportion to Foxconn’s investment and job creation in our state.

The Foxconn project will provide a tremendous economic benefit to all Wisconsinites, while ensuring taxpayers receive a great return on their investment.

Manley joined Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce in 2005 after serving more than ten years as a policy advisor in the Wisconsin State Senate, where he focused his policy work in the areas of environment, natural resources, taxation and the judiciary.

Manley currently serves as Vice President of the Wisconsin Civil Justice Council and serves as Vice Chairman of the Great Lakes Legal Foundation. He was also appointed

by Governor Scott Walker’s Administration to represent business perspectives on the Wisconsin Unemployment Insurance Advisory Council.

After the Presidential election of 2016, the Great Lakes Metro Chambers Coalition (GLMCC) identified a list of priorities related to President Trump’s stated campaign priorities. Over the past year, the coalition has lobbied for a seamless, efficient border with Canada, advocated for infrastructure projects in the Great Lakes States, sponsored a report on the importance of immigration to the Great Lakes economy, supported funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative as well as the Soo Locks project, and supported other policies important to continued growth of the Great Lakes economy.

Over the year, GLMCC expressed support for President Trump’s priority of passing into law a comprehensive infrastructure package, contacted members of the Great Lakes Congressional delegation to ask that they too support infrastructure development as a priority and requested that they support the list of projects compiled by GLMCC members, which was provided to each Great Lakes Member of Congress. In addition, a GLMCC letter was sent to Transportation Secretary Chao asking that she support the Capital Investment Grant (CIG) program. A list of CIG projects in the Great Lakes States was sent to the Secretary as well. In November, GLMCC leadership met with a White House official handling infrastructure. The leadership expressed to him the importance to the Great Lakes economy of moving an infrastructure bill forward.

GLMCC commented to the Administration on another of President Trump’s priorities - NAFTA renegotiation. The coalition provided official comments to the United States Trade Representative (USTR) outlining GLMCC’s NAFTA priorities which include increased border efficiency, visa policies which reflect the importance of a strong supply of immigrant workers in the Great Lakes states, and support for the US-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council and alignment of regulations which would facilitate more efficient trade between the US and Canada. The coalition continues to communicate with Members of Congress and the Administration about the importance of NAFTA to the Great Lakes economy.

At the end of October, GLMCC and the New American Economy (NAE) jointly released a report, New Americans and a New Direction: The Role of Immigrants in Reviving the Great Lakes Region, which explores the contributions immigrants have made in the area, calculating their spending power and tax contributions, their influence on the labor market, and their role in combating population decline throughout the region.

That report was shared by GLMCC with Great Lakes Members of Congress and the administration.

GLMCC supported a number of other policy issues including the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), which the Administration had proposed eliminating. The House and Senate included full funding for GLRI in their appropriations bills. The coalition also supported the 21st Century Energy Workforce Act supporting STEM education and energy workforce development. In addition, GLMCC sponsored webinars on tax reform, NAFTA, and the GLMCC/NAE immigration report.

In 2018, GLMCC will continue to be part of the discussion as Congress and the Administration further debate these and other issues important to growth of the Great Lakes regional economy.

Laurie Purpuro is a government affairs advisor at the firm of K&L Gates in Washington D.C., and provides policy expertise for the Great Lakes Metro Chamber Coalition (GLMCC). GLMCC’s membership consists of nearly 40 chambers of commerce from Great Lakes states, including Wisconsin.

Anakh Leadership Coaching focuses on building leadership character virtues.

True leaders are not only intellectually competent, organized and driven, they also personify humility, patience, self-discipline, empathy and integrity. Developing character virtues is a process of confronting and continually improving upon our weaknesses. Clients experience an increase in self-awareness, and through application of proven techniques, they eliminate old, ineffective behavior patterns.

Anakh Leadership Coaching works with business leaders and professionals who have a strong desire to be seen as a sincere and trustworthy leader and highly effective role model in the workplace, at home and within the community. We don’t know what we don’t know. That is why self-mastery coaching is so important. We can’t change what we can’t see. And, we also can’t change something that we don’t understand.

There are several upcoming leadership development workshops beginning in January 2018 which include Leadership Character Development for GenX, Leadership Character Development for Millennials, Increasing Emotional Intelligence, Setting and Maintaining Boundaries, and Giving your Self-Confidence a Permanent Boost. Workshops will be held at the Bordini Center in Appleton.
