Centergy 2011 Economic Summit recap   


Earlier this month we hosted our Centergy Economic Barb FleisnerSummit. Approximately 150 business and community leaders convened for a morning of regional updates, networking, and motivational messages.  Two panel discussions were held on reactions to the proposed state budget and changes to the UW System. This was followed by a truly inspiring message from our keynote presenter, Tim Sullivan from Barry-Wehmiller Companies. His message described how people, purpose, performance, and investments in leadership, technology, and continuous improvement are essential for success.  The morning ended with entertainment provided by "Global Rhythms' through UWSP's International Club.

Best regards,
