Message from the Chair
|
Wow does time fly by or what? Here we are already into December. I want to personally congratulate those who received awards at the November dinner meeting. This is a great way to honor those who have put forth such an effort.
For the December meeting, we will be touring Hues Manufacturing in New Holstein. The complete theme for this meeting is the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria and Wisconsin Forward Award. Hues has applied for and been recognized by the Wisconsin Forward Award. Lee Binz, from FVTC, will be doing a mini-session on using the criteria as a self-assessment tool and will also be our guest speaker for that evening.
The January meeting will be held at the Kohler Company. The Spring Conference will be at the end of March and will be on Internal Auditing. More information will be provided in upcoming newsletters.
Once again, I wanted to remind everyone about the Vice-Chair position that will need to be filled for next year. If you are interested, please let one of your board members know.
Have a great, safe and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Thank you for all your support.
