2012 Sail members add volunteerism focus Energetic, dynamic and spirited are just a few words that describe the members of the Sail organization. These members have accomplished a number of impressive things in 2012 under the great leadership of Missy Scherer, Schenck SC. Her enthusiasm is contagious as she works with her committee on planning educational and networking opportunities for the members. The committee also added a new area of focus for the organization: volunteerism. They believe in the importance of giving back to the community they live in and now are actively helping out many of the non-profit organizations in Manitowoc County. Needless to say, The Chamber of Manitowoc County is pleased and proud to support this organization and all of its accomplishments. On behalf of The Chamber of Manitowoc County membership, congratulations to the 2012 Future 15 Award recipients. We have a large number of young professionals within our county who deserve recognition for all they have accomplished and we are pleased to introduce our selection of the “best of the best,” The 2012 Future 15.
What is Future 15? The “Future 15” are young professionals in Manitowoc County who have set themselves apart from other individuals both in their professional and personal lives and are currently making a contribution to the community and will continue to do so for years to come. Recipients of this year’s Future 15 are included inside this publication. The theme for this year’s awards banquet and this section is, “Staying Connected.” Inside you’ll discover different forms of technology that have been utilized throughout the years – some of them continue to be used today. You’ll also read more about the Future 15 and how they utilize technology, along with 15 words that are characteristic to the Sail organization and what it stands for in terms of helping young professionals stay connected. Sponsors this year include: Manitowoc Trophy, award sponsor, and Bank First National, award recipient dinner sponsor. Typically, the “Young Professional of the Year” award is given out at the Future 15 Awards. This year, however, the prestigious award will be given at The Chamber of Manitowoc County’s Annual Dinner and Meeting in February. The Young Professional of the Year award honors a role model in career, community and future impact. The young professional receiving this award excels in his or her career, and has also left and will continue to leave a lasting footprint within the community through volunteer work. This award is sponsored by Associated Bank.
Thank you to the Sail organization for your dedication and commitment to Manitowoc County. Karen Szyman Executive Director | The Chamber of Manitowoc County
