Message from the Board Chair, Melissa Hunt
As the air turns crisp and the twinkling lights remind us that the holidays are near, it’s the perfect time
to reflect on our accomplishments and look ahead with excitement! Together, we’ve navigated a busy election season, and our WEDA committees have hit the ground running with impactful initiatives.
From setting priorities in the Legislative Committee to preparing academy sessions for the upcoming year, the energy within WEDA is electric. And before we know it, we’ll kick off WEDA’s grand 50th Anniversary celebration in 2025, marking five decades of economic development excellence across Wisconsin!
Looking ahead, I’m thrilled to share a few highlights:
- YPEN Virtual Holiday Meetup: Mark your calendars for Thursday, December 12, at 4:00 PM – a great way to connect and spread some holiday cheer.
- ED WOW Lunch Meet-Up: Don’t miss it at the Governor’s Conference in Milwaukee this February!
As we wrap up 2024, let’s take a moment to celebrate the progress we’ve made together and the partnerships that make our work meaningful. THANK YOU, our members, for your invaluable partnership and dedication, which have been the foundation of our success. Here’s to a joyful holiday season filled with peace, prosperity, and continued success for our communities in Wisconsin.
Cheers to all of you, and may 2025 bring even greater opportunities for us to grow and thrive.
Warm wishes~melissa
