Time to Reflect

By Aaron Kapellusch, President

As we come to the close of another year, it’s time to reflect, but more importantly time to look forward to new and exciting times. At the Wausau Region Chamber of Commerce (WRCC), we are always changing to meet the collective needs of our members. Recently we asked for input via our annual member survey. This input is very important to us, and we take it to heart.

The survey results have been steady since we started using it as a tool for input four years ago. However, one result that we are very proud of is the percentage of people who would recommend the WRCC to others is the highest it has ever been. This tells us that your input and ideas have made us an even better Chamber of Commerce. As a member, please share with those who aren’t members the value you Congratulations to Cassandra Vinch from WAOW, winner of the $100 Chamber Gift Certificate for participating in the Chamber Member Survey.

receive from being part of the WRCC so we can become an even stronger business community.

Soon we will be sending Aaron Kapellusch out our annual economic outlook survey, which is a great way to gather regional economic information which is then compared to state and national economic trends. This information is shared by a guest speaker with experience in economics during our Economic Outlook program. Again, feedback from you on this topic is very important in how we move forward to support and grow your business.

I’ve been here in my position for a year now and have been pleasantly overwhelmed by the kindness and support of people in this community. Our role as staff at the WRCC is to serve our members—a job we take seriously and with a lot of passion. So even if you didn’t have the chance to submit your input via the Member Survey, we are always open to hearing your input. Please don’t hesitate to give me a call or send an email.

Be thankful that you live in a community where you can not only get involved, but make a difference.

And we are thankful that you are a member of the WRCC. We wish you a safe and joyous holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.

Led by Laurie Prochnow as President and Owner, Management Recruiters is an executive search firm and a leading provider of full-service staffing solutions to a broad range of clients in the banking, accounting, finance, and information technology industries throughout the United States. It even hosts a specialist dedicated to servicing accounts in its home region of Wausau, as well as the state of Wisconsin.

Laurie started her career in the search business on the front lines at Management Recruiters of Wausau as a recruiter specializing in AS/400 placements.

She won many awards and much recognition for her success and assumed ownership of the office in 1994.

In 2004, Management Recruiters was selected as the Wausau Region Chamber’s Small Business of the Year winner in the Retail/Sales division.

As owner and manager, Laurie is continually developing a great team to serve the needs of clients and candidates. She is committed to becoming the most valued and trusted resource for finding the individuals who will add value to client organizations; providing her people with the resources and motivation they need to be the best they can be; and treating candidates with respect, honesty and professionalism.

Most of those positions are for Commercial Lenders, Ag Lenders, Branch Managers, Market Presidents and other similar positions primarily in communitybased banks.

Management Recruiters has survived because of its tenacity and dedication to the goal of finding the highest-quality candidates. A willingness to work on continuous improvement and adapt to the changing market conditions has also supported its longevity.

She attended the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration.
