A true original, Jenny Knuth, art director at wisnet.com LLC, is an innovative leader with a passion for pushing the envelope. Her ability to

transform ideas into realities is a rare talent and a tremendous

gift – especially to the individuals and

organizations she works with. Jenny’s introduction to

the AC began with the support of peers and

mentors, encouraging her to get

involved and share her talents. Seemingly the perfect match, she immersed herself in helping to advance the Young Professionals of Fond du Lac (YPF). A graphic designer by trade, Jenny brought clarity to the YPF organization and helped to bring awareness to the opportunities provided by YPF and available to the Fond du Lac community. From volunteering, to leading and recruiting, Jenny has since done it all.

Fast forward almost ten years later and the YPF organization, as well as the AC, continues to benefit from Jenny’s limitless creativity and volunteerism. Not one to shy away from a challenge, Jenny willingly accepted the call to serve; sharing her expertise with the organization in countless ways.

In 2014, Jenny led the YPF organization as

president. In one year, she helped to grow the organization, expand program offerings, host a regional professional development event, give back to the Fond du Lac community, institute benefits for area employers, create a student membership program, develop a new online presence and much more. While it is incredible to reflect on all that Jenny has done, what is even more remarkable is that she is still going strong.

Jenny’s dedication to and enthusiasm for the Fond du Lac community is inspiring. As a young professional and an emerging leader she is certainly not finished yet. In addition to continued leadership in YPF, Jenny is also involved in the work of Fond du Lac Works, Envision Fond du Lac and more. And for that, YPF, the AC and the entire Fond du Lac community is lucky.

PAST AC CHAIRS

The art of “telling it like it is” is just that, an art. It’s a delicate balance of honesty and understanding. In the world of business it’s a skill inherent to the most successful and passionate individuals. Anyone in the insurance business knows its power; the ability to build trust, develop relationships, propel ideas and encourage innovation. Which is exactly the case for the 2015 chair of the Fond du Lac Area Association of Commerce Board of Directors, Mr. Rick Parks, president and CEO of Society Insurance.

Parks strongly supports the mission and vision of the Association of Commerce (AC) and in January of 2015, Parks began his one-year term as AC board chairman. This year’s agenda is set to expand the organization’s advances in workforce and community development, as well as

continue to provide exclusive benefits, networking opportunities and educational programming to assist members.

In leading the AC in 2015, Parks has a unique perspective on the organization and its value in the Fond du Lac community. “You never know when you are going to need insurance,” explained Parks. “And if you don’t have it, you don’t have it. The same goes for our Association of Commerce; and trust me, coming from an insurance guy that’s a pretty powerful sentiment.”

Parks went on to explain the impact of the AC and the coverage it provides the Fond du Lac business community. “Our collective power to represent member interests and be the voice of business in Fond du Lac is invaluable. Our capabilities are incredible and in continuing the successes of 2014, it is an exciting time for the Association and the entire Fond du Lac community.”

The growth and development of numerous workforce initiatives in 2015 is certainly top of mind. Strategic developments have made way for innovative ideas and ground-breaking resources and programming, culminating in the launch of Fond du Lac Works – a division of the AC.

In addition to community and business development, the AC continues to deliver unparalleled business services. The work of various divisions ensures that the needs of businesses, organizations and employees are met. Professional development through the Human

Resources Association, Safety Council, Leadership Fond du Lac program and the Young Professionals of Fond du Lac continues to aid employers in their need for a skilled and dedicated workforce; and the social connections made establish stronger ties to the Fond du Lac community. And the uniqueness of the Agricultural Ambassador program and work of the Agri-Business Council brings value to the Fond du Lac community unlike anything else.

“My first introduction to the Association and really the Fond du Lac community was through participating in the Leadership Fond du Lac program,” recalled Parks. “The experience opened me up to what the AC has to offer and I started picking around the edges, learning what I could get involved in and how I could better serve.”

“There are so many things going on through the AC,” stated Parks. “Beyond the services and opportunities provided to members, how much you personally gain from everything you get involved with, the skills you develop and the lessons learned are huge. And the results go right back to employers and member businesses, a win-win.”

Having lived and worked in many communities, Parks brings a unique perspective when it comes to his role as 2015 AC board chairman. “My observation of Fond du Lac is that we have a strong sense of proactively advancing the community,” stated Parks. “The commitment of people working together is an incredible asset and it is an honor to serve in this capacity.”

“Previously, Fond du Lac was a place I drove past to go somewhere else. I didn’t have an inkling to stop but what I’ve found after working here for ten years is that Fond du Lac is a destination, not a place to pass.”

– Rick Parks

5-YEAR PLANCRITICAL NEED #1 The corporate structure of our community is changing through mergers and acquisitions, entrepreneurship and economic development strategies of the city, county and townships. For the business community to remain unified in our desire to maintain an environment for growth and development, we will partner with other entities in the county to identify and address the new and emerging interests and concerns of business. Objectives & Strategies:

• Create broader appeal for AC membership and involvement.• Treat all businesses with professionalism and dignity.• Encourage involvement by executives employed here who do

not live in the area.

CRITICAL NEED #2 We exist in a regional marketplace and the historical approach to addressing issues no longer will serve our needs. We should adopt a regionalized focus that features intergovernmental initiatives and public and private sector collaborations to fuel economic development. Objectives & Strategies:

• Establish the AC as a key facilitator of regionalized decision-making in a way that encourages broad participation.

• Create strategic alliances with other businesses and organizations based upon complementary strengths.

• Educate the community on the benefits of unity/common focus.

CRITICAL NEED #3 U.S. Census Bureau statistics foretell traumatic changes in local workforce demographics, availability, skill sets and security. Undoubtedly, this will affect the economic growth and opportunity experienced by our members unless reasonable and deliverable solutions are implemented. Objectives & Strategies:

• Develop accurate data that identify the labor requirements over the next 20 years.

• Advance the initiatives of Fond du Lac Works, continuing to provide solutions for the anticipated labor shortage and help address skill deficiencies while creating partnerships with post-secondary education.

• Promote workforce availability and capability in economic development efforts in a way that offers assistance to member firms seeking specific workforce data.

• Lead the commitment to and awareness of inclusiveness while educating members about opportunities that evolve from a more diverse workforce.

CRITICAL NEED #4 The viability and cost-effectiveness of infrastructure affect area communities’ economic development. Integrating infrastructure issues with economic development, quality of life, workforce availability, etc., will ensure our future as a viable location for economic prosperity. Objectives & Strategies:

• Advocate for projects that will have a positive long-term economic impact.

• With partners, identify opportunities for infrastructure improvement.

• Serve as a watchdog for the business community, on the alert for burdensome programs, expenditure increases or funding shifts.

CRITICAL NEED #5 The preservation of, constant improvement in and access to area educational systems will be even more critical in the next several years. Also critical: the alignment of the educational process with the needs of the business community. Objectives & Strategies:

• Enrich the relationship between business and education to create a mutual understanding of each other’s needs.

• Recognize that K-12 educational issues must be considered within a broader framework of social issues.

• Emphasize the advantages of vocational education in specific career opportunities to allow the business community greater access to area graduates with the required skills.

• Provide programming on education’s “Best Practices” that helps companies understand the processes used to develop tomorrow’s workforce.

CRITICAL NEED #6 Quality of life issues are highly visible and important to the public, policymakers, governmental agencies, as well as corporate executives and small business operators. Addressing these issues should be done on a united front to allow for shared ideas as well as the expression of individual needs and priorities. Objectives & Strategies:

• Identify core quality of life attributes and strategies and help integrate these values with other community issues and needs.

• Engage the business community in dialogue about economic development and quality of life trade-offs.

• Encourage private and business funding of quality of life programs or initiatives, elevating Fond du Lac as a destination.

CONGRATULATIONS COMMUNITY AWARD WINNERS!In 1972, the Board of Directors of the Fond du Lac Area Association of Commerce established a program that has become known as the Annual Community Awards. The purpose of the award program was “to pay recognition to area citizens for their volunteer contribution to the community and to area businesses for their contribution to the growth and development of the area.” A fund was established for the AC Community Awards through a gift from local businessman, the late Joseph Berger Jr. to help pay for the plaques awarded each year. Mr. Berger requested that the AC Community Awards program be a way of honoring his father, Joseph Berger Sr. for his contributions to the greater Fond du Lac community. We are proud to recognize the 2014 Community Award Recipients:

AGNESIAN HEALTHCARE: In recognition of the growth and investment made in the greater Fond du Lac community through employment and expansion.

THE ARC FOND DU LAC: In recognition of the significant contributions made by The Arc Fond du Lac to the less fortunate within the greater Fond du Lac community.

MANOWSKE WELDING: In recognition of the growth and development of the company and for the commitment made to the greater Fond du Lac community.
