Your well-connected partner

Janesville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau

Great networking and have made so many friends in the community and through events we attend and promote.

Blackhawk Bank

I became an ambassador to have a platform to meet a variety of people- it’s tougher to meet people when you aren’t in "school" any longer. 

CPA, Baker Tilly

My why is two-fold. I love the relationships created through this organization and I also love being “in the know” on so many things happening in our awesome city!

I wanted to be an Ambassador because I desired to create a deeper connection to our community!

SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital, Janesville

My why is: It really takes a village of people to strengthen and grow a community to meet the needs of all its residents. Forward Janesville brings together people who are passionate about just that…growing and strengthening a community and I want to be part of that village! 

ECHO, Inc.

My favorite thing about being an ambassador is making connections and learning about all of the businesses in Janesville.  I had no idea there were so many great things happening in Janesville before I became an ambassador.

Being a Forward Janesville Ambassador provides me an opportunity to give back to the wonderful community we are in as well as develop relationships with likeminded professionals!  I would be amiss to not also mention that it is a fun group to know!

Loving Life Creatively

My original reason, way back when, was to cultivate new professional relationships in the hopes to recruit new business back to the bank I was working for at the time. I soon realized my reasons grew from a single goal to an excitement for the opportunity of building many long-lasting friendships, learning more about the businesses and happenings in our community, learning from mentors and leaders, the importance of banding together for the greater good AND scored some awesome careers along the way. I’ve continued my commitment over the years understanding the importance of Forward Janesville in our community. I am very grateful and proud to represent our community as an Ambassador. 

Hedberg Public Library

I want the library to be recognized as a community and business partner, and I want to be a visible connection to the library for anyone who wants to work with or be re-connected to the library either for personal or professional reasons.

(I do also have a very real professional purpose for staying connected to the business community, since I am the business librarian.)

Johnson Financial Group

My favorite part of being connected with our ambassador group is the opportunities to grow relationships, watching my ambassador friends’ success and cultivate their goals is the best.
