What is your favorite experience/moment/event with the Chamber?

“I knew nothing about the Chamber until I walked in the door of a Business After Hours event and Jim Knopf came up to me. He was all smiles, took me under his wing and asked me about myself. He introduced me around the room, answered all my questions and most importantly, made me feel I had a lot to offer the Chamber. This was three years ago, and every event I have been to since, Jim has come up to me and made me feel welcomed. People like this who genuinely care are the reason the Greater Green Bay Chamber is an awesome experience.”

Neville Public Museum Foundation

Member since: May 20, 1999 Organization established: 1915 Featured member at the organization: Kasha Huntowski, executive director

What is your why for continuing to be a Chamber member?

“We believe it is important to retain talent in our region and to continue to support and make connections with other local businesses. The Chamber provides educational programming, leadership training and last but definitely not least, networking events to help our staff have a more robust social network which will help to retain them in the long run. As a small employer, we are not always able to provide these opportunities for our staff on our own.”

What is your favorite experience/moment/event with the Chamber?

“My favorite experience with the Greater Green Bay Chamber was going through Leadership Green Bay. Being born and raised in Green Bay, I did not know there was so much to still learn about the area. The leadership training was great, the team project was rewarding and the networking with peers was amazing. I am still friends with some of my classmates years later.”
