Steering Committee
Addressing our state’s long-term systemic, economic challenges
Future Wisconsin Project
The Committee
What will Wisconsin look like in 20 years? What will our workforce look like? What sort of businesses will thrive in our economy? How will our tech colleges and universities stack up to those in other states? What sort of jobs will be available? Will we have enough people to fill the jobs? The WMC Foundation is working with public and private partners to identify, answer and be prepared for the outcome of those questions.
WMC Foundation’s Future Wisconsin Project addresses our state’s long-term systemic, economic challenges. With partner representation from business, government and education, this program seeks to bring all stakeholders of the economy to the table to develop solutions we can all implement. The year-long collaboration culminates with The Future Wisconsin Summit, held at the end of each year.
