As a part of The Chamber's 2019-2020 Strategic Plan, the Board of Directors has formed the Workforce Subcommittee to help our local employers find and retain workers. This group’s mission statement is simple: “The Chamber will facilitate the process of finding/bringing Non-Traditional Workers into the Manitowoc County workforce.”

The Chamber will be holding a series of short informational meetings regarding several non-traditional work groups that have been identified. On Tuesday, March 17th our meeting will focus on employing people with disabilities.

At this meeting we will here from:

• Ascend Services (Deanna Genske – Executive Director)
• Painting Pathways Clubhouse (Jennifer Schmoldt – Executive Director)
• Curative Connections (Betsy Kenneke)
• The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (Alicia Haugen-VR Specialist)
• Manitowoc County Community on Transition (Hallie Steinberg-Special Education Teacher TR Public Schools)
