Summer 2013 News Brief
2013 Newsletter
A Message from the Executive Director
Although it may seem that your Saukville Chamber has been quiet this summer, things have been very busy
“behind the scenes.” Chamber leadership has been working on organizational and administrative items to help
strengthen our infrastructure and prepare us for continued growth. Some of our projects include:

Revising our budget to coincide with our fiscal year and provide a more accurate financial picture

Reviewing and updating commercial insurance coverages

Assess website and data management software options and work with designer to create new website
Thanks to all those who have helped with these projects. As a primarily volunteer organization, it takes many
hands to make things run smoothly and we appreciate all the help we can get!

New Chamber Website
Our new website is up and running! We are continuing to make additions and improvements including the
ability to accept on-line payment and encourage you to check the site regularly for updates. We are planning on
holding a training session for our members in September to teach you how to maximize your internet exposure
through our business directory and other avenues. Stay tuned for details of this exciting new development!
Saukville Scare Sponsors
The Saukville Scare is coming back on Saturday, October 26th, bigger and better than ever! The Scare
committee has begun working on logistics and guarantees a spooktacular time for all who choose to participate!
We are currently seeking support in the form of event sponsorships. If your business is interested in having your
name on the back of a coveted 2013 Saukville Scare Run/Walk T-Shirt, please contact Sherri at the chamber
office for more information!
Leaders of Ozaukee’s Next Generation (L.O.N.G.)
The 2013 Leaders of Ozaukee’s Next Generation course will begin in September and is once again generating a high level
of interest. This program was developed in 2012 by our local UW-Extension and Ozaukee Economic Development in
conjunction with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and will be back for 2013/14 by popular demand. The course is
designed as an eight-session leadership certificate series and was created to help grow and develop Ozaukee’s future
leaders. Each session will include two hours of class time, thirty minutes for networking and thirty minutes of group
project time. Participants will work on a community service project throughout the year and will present their projects next
August to earn a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Continuing Education Leadership Professional Certificate.
This is a fabulous opportunity to help your company’s young professionals develop valuable leadership skills that will be
beneficial both in the workplace and in the community. Don’t hesitate—registration is filling fast! Visit our website or
contact the chamber office for more information.
