Board of Directors

Chamber & MAINSTREET Board of Directors

The Osceola Area Chamber and Main Street Board of Directors is a dedicated all volunteer team, made up of chamber member business and community representatives. The Board works closely together to support all of the diverse mix of businesses found in our membership. As leaders in the community, Board Members align with a set of values-accountability, dedication, collaboration and integrity. We chair committees and projects while focusing on continually improving the financial well being and strategic future direction of the organization. We support the mission of the Osceola Chamber and Main Street Community of
Building Community and Strengthening Business.

“A business chamber is an important part of every community. Chambers benefit not only Main Sreet , businesses, and industrial parks, but they also benefit the people who live in the broader community. Osceola is one of the greatest hometown communities in Wisconsin. People are passionate and care deeply about where they live, work, and play. I am committed to finding ways that all business can “rise” together. As a board member, I represent independent business owners, agriculture, and the media with my work as a writer, independent business owner, and manager of a dairy plant."

My role, as I see it as the liaison between the Osceola Village Board and the Osceola Chamber, is to identify common ground and build on it. By focusing our efforts on specific areas of need and working together to set specific, measurable goals, we can improve the town and community for all of our residents."
