Forward Janesville is joining chambers across the state in celebrating Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce Month throughout September, highlighting the important role chambers play in strengthening businesses, communities and Wisconsin’s economy.
Throughout the month, Forward Janesville will spotlight the many ways the organization works to support its members and move Janesville and Rock County forward — from connecting businesses and developing our future workforce to advocating for a strong business climate and advancing economic development priorities.
“Forward Janesville’s mission is ultimately about creating a community where businesses and people can thrive,” said Shar Hermanson, President & CEO of Forward Janesville. “That means connecting and supporting our members, but it also means tackling the bigger issues that shape our community’s future — workforce, economic development, education, advocacy and quality of life. None of that work happens in isolation. It takes businesses, community partners and leaders working together, and Forward Janesville is proud to help bring those voices to the table and turn ideas into action.”
Chamber of Commerce Month also provides an opportunity to recognize the businesses and organizations that make Forward Janesville’s work possible. Through their membership, engagement and investment in the community, Forward Janesville members help strengthen the local economy and build momentum for the future.
Forward Janesville will bring members together throughout September with several events, including:
Forward Janesville is joining Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce Executives and chambers throughout the state in recognizing Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce Month. The monthlong celebration highlights the work local chambers do every day to strengthen Wisconsin businesses and communities.
