Accelerate Magazine January 2022

JANUARY 2022 MAGAZINE SUZANNE KELLEY President & CEO Waukesha County Business Alliance, Inc. It's been just over two months since the Waukesha Christmas parade tragedy. And while this senseless act and the lives lost will forever remain ingrained in our hearts, the outpouring of support from around the county, state and world has been nothing short of amazing. From first responders and medical personnel, to nonprofits, businesses, community leaders, educators and thousands of others that stepped up to show their support in one way or another, we've had the opportunity to witness first hand what it means to come together. As we enter into a new year, I am encouraged by the strength and resiliency of our community and optimistic about what lies ahead. The Alliance is looking forward to a new year, a new perspective on the value of community, and a new opportunity to support businesses. Thank you for being here to support our mission. Our members are the reason our team works so passionately to strengthen the business community and drive economic growth in Waukesha County. We look forward to seeing you soon. STRENGTH & RESILIENCY 3
