THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE: BUSINESS GROWTH & ENGAGEMENT, PROFESSIONAL WOMEN'S DEVELOPMENT NETWORK, YOUNG PROFESSIONALS OF WAUKESHA COUNTY, ADVOCACY PROGRAMS SUCH AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND OTHERS. ATTENDANCE AT THESE PROGRAMS RANGES FROM 25 FOR SMALL PROGRAMS TO OVER 500 FOR LARGER PROGRAMS. EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP IS KEY TO ANY COMMUNITY'S SUCCESS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF EMERGING LEADERS IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF LEADERS FOR THE FUTURE. LEADERSHIP WAUKESHA COUNTY IS A PROGRAM THAT FOCUSES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS WHO LIVE OR WORK IN THE GREATER WAUKESHA COUNTY AREA. IN MORE THAN 35 YEARS OF EXISTENCE, OVER 1,200 GRADUATES OF THESE PROGRAMS HAVE STRENGTHENED THEIR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SKILLS. THE PROGRAM EVOLVES EVERY YEAR TO REFLECT THE CHANGING NEEDS AND TRENDS OF THE BUSINESS WORLD. ONE OF THE MAJOR CONCERNS WE HEAR FROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS A LACK OF WORKFORCE. IN A RECENT SURVEY, OVER 70 PERCENT OF BUSINESSES IN WAUKESHA COUNTY REPORTED FINDING A SKILLED WORKFORCE TO BE A PRIIMARY CHALLENGE IN MAINTAINING AND GROWING THEIR BUSINESS. WE ARE WORKING TO ADDRESS THE LABOR SHORTAGE TO ENSURE THAT BUSINESSES HAVE ENOUGH EMPLOYEES AND CITIZENS HAVE ACCESS TO JOBS WITH FAMILY-SUSTAINING WAGES. WE HAVE CREATED EMPLOYER COLLABORATIVES FOCUSED ON OUR HIGH-DEMAND INDUSTRIES OF MANUFACTURING, CONSTRUCTION, AND HEALTHCARE TO ENSURE OUR BUSINESSES HAVE A VOICE IN THE PROCESS AND WE ARE COMING UP WITH SOLUTIONS. WITHIN THOSE COLLABORATIVES WE ARE FOCUSED ON A COMPREHENSIVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY TO ATTRACT, DEVELOP, AND RETAIN TALENT. THE WAUKESHA COUNTY BUSINESS ALLIANCE PROVIDES PROGRAMMING TO INFORM STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, AND PARENTS ABOUT CAREER PATHWAYS AVAILABLE IN WAUKESHA COUNTY DRIVER INDUSTRIES. 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 16 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 28 28 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X SUSAN PEDERSEN 2625424249 2717 N GRANDVIEW BLVD NO 300 WAUKESHA WI 531881660 RICK ANDRITSCH CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CHUCK PALMER CHAIR ELECT, LEGAL COUNSEL 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MATT MORONEY VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BETSY BEAR HOFF SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK SOBCZAK PAST CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL GRYCZKA TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KATE BREWER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROB DILLON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW GUTIERREZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOLLY HAWKIINS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TIM HEARDEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDY HESSELBACH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 REBECCA HOLAPPA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TODD HOYTINK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GUILLAUME LAUR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORI LORENZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TONY MALLINGER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER NELSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHRYN PAULSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE RIESCH-KNAPP DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KIP RITCHIE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 VICTOR SCHULTZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TIM STEWART DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MEGAN TZANOUKAKIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KUSUM VERMA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE VEUM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN WARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JIM ZAISER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUZANNE KELLEY THRU 063024 PRESIDENT & CEO 40.00 X 119414 0 5917 AMANDA PAYNE AS OF 070124 PRESIDENT & CEO 40.00 X 82500 0 5775 SUSAN PEDERSEN SVP FINANCE & OPERATIONS 40.00 X 155035 0 9729 356949 0 21421 2 0 1 0 0 592999 592999 MEMBERSHIP DUES 611430 784497 784497 CONFERENCE REGISTRATIO 611430 310705 310705 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 611430 234 234 1095436 43736 43736 3750 0 3750 3750 3750 2141 -2141 -2141 -2141 1202 0 1202 1202 WCCG REIMBURSEMENT 611430 133982 133982 ADVERTISING REVENUE 611430 31504 31504 OTHER INCOME 611430 1125 1125 166611 1901593 1230543 31504 46547 384173 680676 18126 32665 79357 33594 37637 26177 135275 7338 190974 60045 15765 ADVOCACY 103004 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 10078 SALES TAXES 2870 GOVERNMENT RELATION 1548 600 1819902 160793 136733 1488533 1692808 -21190 62275 26210 51246 636748 394430 304504 242318 15094 4290 1973944 2189670 77628 128854 1083854 1166663 1161482 1295517 X 812462 894153 812462 894153 1973944 2189670 81691 0 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 370176 233427 136749 266572 161003 105569 242318 X X X X X 0 0 0 SUSAN PEDERSEN SVP FINANCE & OPERATIONS 113035 0 42000 0 0 0 3956 0 5773 0 164764 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6 THE ORGANIZATION HAS A SINGLE CLASS OF MEMBERSHIP.
