As the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce enters a new era in 2024, we can look back to understand why this region is poised to take off.
For decades, prudent leadership and game-changing results have cemented this organization’s reputation as an impactful institution.
More recently, groundbreaking legislative wins, a bevy of economic development and businesses putting a premium on developing and attracting talent are just a few examples of that leadership in action. Results like these have given southeastern Wisconsin the potential for massive growth in the coming years. In 2023, solutions were reached to help the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County manage their budgets and bolster essential services – like public safety, parks and more – through new revenue streams. |
A $100 million investment in education locally will provide more equitable per-pupil spending for our choice and charter students. This allows parents more options when deciding what’s best for their children and employers a deeper pool of talent ready to make meaningful contributions to their success.
A global leader in technology, Microsoft, has committed billions in investment to its data center project in Mount Pleasant, highlighting a fantastic run in regional economic investment by companies throughout the world. Businesses signing our Region of Choice pledge recently surpassed hiring and promotion goals for Black and Brown talent within their organizations. |
While there is still work to be done, real progress can be achieved when intentionality is present.
These are just a few examples of outcomes achieved due, in part, to the vision, planning and action taken by the MMAC. In 2024, we’ll have an opportunity to show off southeastern Wisconsin as 50,000 people descend and the eyes of the world focus on Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention. I’m certain we will leave a lasting impression. As the new president of the MMAC, I am blessed to be entrusted to lead an organization that has had such an immense impact on our region since 1861. I vow to carry on that legacy and serve our membership and the community with its best interests in mind. |
