Last week, we officially began a new chapter with the grand opening of Lakeland’s Green Bay Center at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. Founded in 1862 in Sheboygan County, Lakeland has been a part of the Green Bay area since 1984. Together, we’re building a brighter future for northeast Wisconsin! ???????? ????????: https://lnkd.in/g5FQjbXF

With our Q1 edition of The NEW Business Review at the printer’s this week, all of us at The Business News took a moment to reflect on the special publications we put out last year. The newspaper plays a crucial role in our community by providing access to local business news, but our special publications have always been something a little…special. Last year we asked what types of resources would best help business and community leaders do what they do best. As a result we developed an expanded Book of Lists (a joy to all of us who love Excel) and The NEW Business Review, which created better avenues to access our state’s innovators and strategists. Our first issue of The NEW Business Review featured 8 incredible thought leaders. Our first issue of 2024 has over 30! Thank you to everyone who contributed to one of these publications over the course of the year, as writers, advertisers and readers. We couldn’t make these without you! And then not only did we start a brand new quarterly special publication, everything got a beautiful design lift thanks to our design team and to KHROME and Kuehn Printing! It’s always fun when dynamic content pairs with a creative design and we appreciate all of the work that they put in to bring it to life. We were proud to bring each of these to you in 2023 and we have even more planned for 2024. What topics are we covering this year? Q1: Place & Purpose Q2: Sustainability & Managing Resources Q3: Building Capacity & Scale Q4: Harnessing Change All that and more to come with The Business News! #localnews #business #strategy #publication #news #innovation #entrepreneurship
