At Forward Janesville, we understand that diversity is a key ingredient to a thriving economy and an essential component to community development. We are thrilled to share one special project we have been working hard on behind the scenes for quite some time. This month we hosted our first Consejo Empresarial Latino (Latino Business Council) and had an incredible turnout! This council is comprised of Latino business owners and community representatives, and its mission is to uncover ways Forward Janesville can better serve the Latino Community.
