THIS IS OSHKOSH

This is Oshkosh Cover.jpg

The Oshkosh Chamber is excited to announce the coming of the 2022 community profile publication – THIS IS OSHKOSH. This year’s publication will be produced in partnership with the Fox Cities Magazine. THIS IS OSHKOSH will be a premier resource for not only newcomers, residents and visitors, but will be single source publication for companies, as they recruit talent to the Oshkosh area. 

 

THIS IS OSHKOSH shines a spotlight on the community, the Chamber and the businesses that make this a great place to live, work and play. The high quality of life that is Oshkosh is presented through introductions to arts and culture, education, healthcare and, not least of all, its spectacular water front. 

THIS IS OSHKOSH will be presented in print version and distributed by the Chamber throughout the community. A digital version will be available on the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce website as well.


Because of your investment in the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce, we wanted to make sure you know about our plans to market the Oshkosh area to a national audience. As a member of the Oshkosh Chamber, we encourage you to look at this publication as a means to promote your business to a targeted audience.

Full Group No Mask.jpg
FIRE TOUR 1 small.jpg

Leadership Oshkosh participants learned how city, county and state government work together for the benefit of the community. Through a mock city council meeting, interviewing a panel of elected officials and viewing presentations the class gained a better understanding of the role government plays. The other part of the day was spent touring the Oshkosh Fire Department and seeing first-hand the importance of their services. 


A special thank you goes out to elected officials who participated in a panel discussion on why they choose to participate in government office.
