People power progress—a sentiment captured perfectly by MMAC President Dale Kooyenga. “Our greatest asset, though, is our people. Built on a tradition of hard work, education, and resilience, our workforce powers both century-old brands and ambitious startups.” #MMAC #M7 #mke

Tonight we are pleased to welcome incoming Board Chair Steve Booth! “I’m excited to work alongside our board, our members and our staff to build on the momentum we’ve created.”

M7’s impact is changing lives for the better, says M7 co-chair Gabrielle Finley-Hazle. “The numbers tell a powerful story, but the real impact is felt in the lives of the people who now have access to better opportunities, stronger communities and a brighter future.”

MMAC COO Lynn Olberding and VP of Talent and Community Affairs Corry Joe Biddle share an update on the ROC 2.0 initiative! “It’s about building workplaces where no one falls through the cracks. Where belonging isn’t a program for some, but a culture for all,” said Biddle

@DaleKooyenga unveiled a strategic plan focused on talent, growth and livability “Do you have the sense that there’s momentum growing in the Milwaukee region? I certainly do – but fueling that momentum relies not on hope, but on developing and executing a deliberate strategy.”

Outgoing MMAC Board Chair Austin Ramirez has kicked off MMAC's 2025 All Member Meeting! "If our history of leaning in as business leaders has taught us anything, it's that we have the responsibility and wherewithal to shape our progress," said Ramirez
