Topic: Updates from Local Elected Officials
 

Join us for the Sheboygan County Chamber’s Friday Forum, our luncheon series bringing community leaders, Chamber members, and business stakeholders together to stay informed about the issues shaping our city and region.

At this edition, local elected officials will share insights from their office on current priorities, recent developments, and what lies ahead for our community. This is a chance to hear what’s on the local political horizon as we wrap up 2025 and we believe this will be a valuable opportunity for dialogue between elected officials and business leaders.

The Friday Forum is a longstanding Chamber tradition that brings together business professionals for timely and relevant discussions.
