Forty-five area professionals have been named to the 2026-2027 Leadership Fox Cities program through the Fox Cities Chamber.
Starting in October, participants will gather monthly for day-long educational sessions in the community focused on topics including business, education, government, human services, health and wellness, law enforcement, environment, and the arts. A kickoff retreat was held in September.
