A delegation of Green Bay business, civic and educational leaders presented Northeastern Wisconsin’s case for an enhanced University of Wisconsin-Green Bay to the UW System Board of Regents on Friday, April 7. Posing informally before the full board meeting were, from left, presenters William Gollnick, Diane Ford, Bruce Shepard, Susan Finco, Jeff Rafn, Larry Ferguson, Paul Linzmeyer and Paul Jadin. After their presentation, Regent President David Walsh told the group, “Your message is remarkable… I wish I could package you all, take you back to Madison and sit you down with our Legislature.” To which Finco quickly replied, “We’re ready.”

Diane Ford of Wisconsin Public Service told the Regents meeting that UW-Green Bay graduates, in high demand locally, tend to come from Northeast Wisconsin and stay in Northeast Wisconsin following graduation, boosting the regional economy.

“Success is in the Cards” is the headline on the poster. Chancellor Bruce Shepard distributed smaller take-home versions to the Regent and UW System visitors to illustrate the impressive reach of UW-Green Bay graduates. The well-received poster offers a sampling of business cards from some of UW-Green Bay’s most accomplished alumni.
