FJI Report

The FJI Report is Forward Janesville's quarterly magazine. The publication highlights important news, member businesses and our volunteers that make an impact in Janesville and Rock County.

In our latest edition, Spring 2025, we traverse "The Road To Health." We are fortunate to live in Janesville - Wisconsin's Park Place. It's more than just a marketing slogan; it's a claim with solid data to back it up. Anyone who wants an active lifestyle has an astounding number of opportunities available within the city to do just that, many of them at no cost. In the spirit of spring and of fitness, we take a walking tour around Janesville to explore how health and wellness are promoted in the city and some of the options that are available to residents.

Also in this issue: a look back at the 2025 Rock Regional Business Expo; a letter from our 2025-26 Forward Janesville Board Chair, Mick Gilbertson; "How Did I Get Here?" with with Mark Hasting, CEO and President of Blain Supply, Inc. and Blain's Farm and Fleet; a trio of local businesses -- Damrow Chiropractic and Performance, Blain's Farm and Fleet, and Blackhawk Community Credit Union -- celebrating milestone anniversaries this year; meet our new Board members; learn more about a leaders from three different Forward Janesville members/volunteers who are "looking out for one another": JPAC's Nathan Burkart (Forward Janesville member and ARISENow partner), SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital's Dona Hohensee (Ambassadors), and MercyCare Health Plans' Andy Jones (Ambassadors); and an introduction to 31 new member businesses who recently joined Forward Janesville.
