Dear Chamber

Members,

As I mentioned

last month,

March was a

busy month

for confer-

ences. The Wisconsin Governor’s

Conference on Tourism was phe-

nomenal! Its theme of “The

Power of Tourism” was right on

target and we were given tools

that will make promoting our

great area of the State even better.

The 5th Annual Tri-State Tourism

Spring Conference packed a pow-

erful message on the importance

of promoting our area regionally.

We are so fortunate to have the

partnerships that we have in the

tri-state area as it makes our re-

gion much better for the visitors

we attract. The Southwest Leg-

islative Day went very well –

thank you to the committee that

put this together. It is so impor-

tant for us to be advocates for

our communities here in this

corner of the State.

We have rescheduled our break-

fast presentation by Todd Berry,

the President of the Wisconsin

Taxpayers Alliance (WISTAX)

for Thursday, April 28th at

7:00AM at the Millennium Cin-

that when we would come to

Platteville for some free time and

shopping that the people were

always so gracious, and we still

do. We are fortunate to be a part

of this area. Being a part of the

Chamber and being a part of the

board it has really opened my

eyes on what we do to promote

the community and area, and I

learn everyday a little more. I

also believe being on the board

though that we cannot take sides

on issues in the community, sup-

porting one side or the other.

I feel our mission as an organiza-

tion is to promote our wonderful

community and its surrounding

area.

We all support each other and

that is what makes our commu-

nity so strong and special.

Also let us continue to keep

Kathy and Joe, her mom, Esther,

and the rest of her family in our

thoughts and prayers, since the

death of her father, Robert

“Bob”, McFall, who died on

March 20. Our thoughts are with

all of you.

Chamber President

Well we are starting April off

with showers, so hopefully in

May we will have flowers and

green grass. I have to say that our

membership renewal is a lot better

than the weather and for all of you

THANKS for all of your support.

As a chamber member I feel it is

so important to promote our com-

munity and the surrounding area’s

to its fullest. I have always felt,

even back when Laura and I lived

in Richland Center, and Muscoda,

“Our Business

After Hours are

open to your

entire staff. Join

us each month for

this great

networking

opportunity”

Welcome!

candidates for public office, or take positions on state or

local government issues. It is not affiliated with any other

organization - national, state or local”.

With the importance and spotlight on the State’s upcoming

budget, we feel that this presentation will be very informa-

tive. Todd will be speaking at the Millennium Cinema at

7AM. Take 2 Restaurant will be providing a continental

breakfast. There will be time for Q&A. Reservations are

required, so please call Debi ASAP!

Membership retention is quite strong and we are seeing

new members as well. We are on an aggressive path to

recruit new members that will enable your Chamber or-

ganization to continue providing support and promotion of

your businesses and organizations.

Our 2011 Community Guide is just “hot off the press” and

it looks awesome! Thank you to the Shopping News for

our partnership in making this publication a key piece of

promoting the City of Platteville. Copies will be available

after Monday, April 4th. Please feel free to stop in and get

a supply!

I’d also like to acknowledge the contributions to our com-

munity by two long-standing, exemplary businesswomen,

Kay Helker and Anne Klawiter. Kay retired at the end of

March and Anne will be retiring at the end of April. Your

legacies will be felt for a long, long time. Congratulations

to both and best wishes for your future endeavors!

The Chamber staff is working at a fast pace to get ready

for all the events, festivals, workshops and celebrations

that we have planned in the next few months. We could

always use some volunteers, so if you have a few hours or

know of someone who may be interested, please let me

know!

UW-Platteville Alumni Services’ Learning from Our Past Lecture series -This series is free and open to the public, will take place from 6-7:30p.m. the first Wednesday of each month school is

in session. The lecturers will speak for an hour, leaving time at the end for questions. UW-Platteville Media Services will video-

Southwest Health Center CEO announces Retirement Southwest Health Center President and Chief Executive Office Anne Klawiter has announced her plans to

retire at the end of April after serving 22 years in the organization’s top leadership position.

During Klawiter’s tenure, Southwest Health Center (SHC) has expanded its services and programs on behalf

of residents in southwest Wisconsin as well as its impact on the region’s health and healthcare. Among the

highlights of Klawiter’s career was the 2005 opening of a new, 94,000 square foot hospital facility, a mod-

ern patient-centered replacement hospital. SHC has also been widely and consistently recognized for exem-

plary patient satisfaction under Klawiter’s leadership. In addition to frequent acknowledgement for it’s qual-

ity nursing home care and resident satisfaction, SHC has been honored with both the prestigious Press

Ganey Summit Award for patient satisfaction and the national Hospital of Choice Award bestowed by the

American Alliance of Healthcare Providers. Klawiter began her employment with SHC in 1973 as a Staff

Radiologic Technologist. She was promoted to Chief Radiologic Technologist in 1976 and to Assistant Administrator in 1979. In

1981, the former Platteville Hospital and Nursing Home and the Cuba City Hospital and Nursing Home consolidated services to

become Southwest Health Center. At that time, Klawiter was named Vice President. In 1989, SHC engaged HealthTech Manage-

ment Services, formerly known as the Lakewood Group and Brim Healthcare, to manage the hospital. Klawiter has served as

President and Chief Executive Officer since that time.

Voss announced that HealthTech will place an Interim Chief Executive at the Health Center while they conduct, along with the

SHC Board of Directors, a national search among the best possible candidates for the regular CEO position.

The QTI Group has moved! I am glad to announce that QTI has moved to a new location. We are now located in the suite building by Tri-County Dialysis.

Our new address is 1250 E. Hwy 151 Suite D P.O. Box 651 Platteville, WI 53818. Our phone number has stayed the same

which is 608-348-8113. Our email has stayed the same as well which is Platteville@qstaff.com.

Congratulations to HONKAMP KRUEGER & CO., P.C. Honkamp Krueger & Co., P.C., headquartered in Dubuque, Iowa and with a branch location in Platteville, has been named one

Honkamp Krueger was honored as the seventh fastest growing CPA firm in the nation and the fastest growing firm in the Mid-

west. Gregory C. Burbach, CPA, CFP ® , the firm’s managing partner, states, “It is very exciting to be one of the Top 100 and

the seventh fastest growing CPA firms in the nation plus the fastest in the Midwest. It shows our clients of all sizes and indus-

Congratulations to MONTCHEVRE-Betin, Inc! Dairy Business Innovation Center Honors Two Wisconsin Companies for Excellence! Two Wisconsin dairy companies were recognized Friday by the Dairy Business Innovation Center for their leadership and

dedication to growing Wisconsin’s dairy industry. The sixth annual “DBIC Innovation Zone Awards” were presented to Up-

lands Cheese from Dodgeville, Wis., and Montchevre in Belmont, Wis., to highlight the accomplishments of both companies in

product and technology innovation. The award ceremony, which also honored all past award-recipients, took place March 11 at

the DBIC’s Awards & Celebration Dinner at The Pyle Center in Madison.

President Arnaud Solandt and Cheesemaker Jean Rossard accepted the DBIC Innovation Zone Award on behalf of their team at

Montchevre, which has grown significantly in the last decade to become the largest goat cheese producer in the United States.

Today, Montchevre processes 50 million pounds of goats’ milk from 300 farms. And, last fall, the company installed an an-

aerobic digester to utilize cheese plant waste to create bio-gas used to generate electricity.

"We are proud to be at the point where instead of just discarding our whey, we now capture it as a byproduct, transfer it to

make power, and produce cheese," Rossard said. “We’ve come full circle.”

Dan Carter, DBIC Founder and Chairman, recognized both Uplands Cheese and Montchevre as leading dairy innovators in the

United States. “Wisconsin is proud to be home to some of the best cheesemakers in the nation. It is a thrill to be in this room

tonight to recognize that the future of America’s Dairyland is bright.”

MONTCHEVRE was the Chamber’s 2010 recipient of the Outstanding Award in the Field of Agriculture. CONGRATULATIONS!

There were no minutes of the Executive Committee as they have not met.

Old Business:

Bahr presented an overview of the 48th Annual Celebration and Virtue Awards night. We had a record turnout, with over 160 people

in attendance. The premiere of the Discover Wisconsin episode was excellent. There was a concern in that we ran out of food at one

point. The committee will be discussing this at their next meeting. There is a consensus to hold the 2012 Celebration at the Univer-

sity on Friday, February 12th.

Kopp presented each board member with a membership folder for their use in helping to recruit new members as part of the aggres-

sive membership drive for 2011.

New Business:

Kopp noted that she continues to collect information as we move toward the development of a Chamber Tourism Council from other

Chambers and CVB’s throughout the State. It was agreed that we continue to develop this Council.

A list of proposed Committee Chairs was presented and approved by President Melby. Committee Chairs for 2011 are: Executive

Committee - Matt Melby; Marketing & Business Committee - Jeremy Patnaude; Tourism Committee - Eileen Engelke; Education

Dells. Copies of the goals of the City’s Tourism Commission were distributed. The 4th quarter room tax report for 2010 has been

received. The amount distributed to the Chamber was $13,503.93 compared to $13,608.66 a year ago. We have received notice that

we were successful in obtaining a grant for $7311 from the Department of Tourism through their visitor center grant program. It was

noted that this is a reimbursement for expenses of staffing incurred by the Chamber and was not a duplication of monies received

through room tax.
