AT&T Wisconsin awarded EconomicsWisconsin a $5,000 AT&T Innovation & Investment Award in support of our Economics for Opinion Leaders seminar series.  This increased support means that we will be able to reach even more opinion leaders, including elected officials, clergy, non-profit managers, and corporate leaders, among others.  Our intention, through these seminars, is for Wisconsin's opinion leaders to gain an enhanced understanding of the key concepts of economics behind the important issues they have to address with their respective stakeholders. 

In addition to AT&T Wisconsin, financial support for Economics for Opinion Leaders is provided by the A.O. Smith Foundation, The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, and M&I Marshall & Ilsley Foundation. 

At EconomicsWisconsin's Annual Meeting, held on October 22, 2014 at ManpowerGroup Headquarters in Milwaukee, the following individuals were newly elected to three-year terms on the Board of Directors:
