The Northeast Wisconsin Chambers Coalition (NEWCC), which consists of Chambers in Fond du Lac, the Fox Cities, Green Bay, Oshkosh, and Waupaca, is teaming up to present this free webinar March 11 featuring John Kirchner, Midwest Region executive director of Congressional and Public Affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Kurt Bauer, president and CEO of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC).
