SHEBOYGAN, WI -- February XX, 2025 -- The GameBoard, the innovative game store in Sheboygan, WI, that’s changing the way you think about playing games, is proud to announce that its award-winning owner, Lynn Potyen, has been appointed to be part of the Harbor Centre Business Improvement District’s (BID’s) Board of Directors for 2025.

“This is a great group that is doing a real service for downtown retailers and I’m proud to serve alongside them,” Potyen said. “Making the entire Business Improvement District more successful helps all BID businesses, but it also makes Sheboygan a better place for all residents.”

Last year, Potyen was singled out by the Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA) and presented with its 2024 Outstanding Contribution to the Games Industry award.

We’re incredibly grateful for their commitment to supporting local businesses, enhancing community engagement, and driving positive change,” said BID Member Services Director Kristin Bahr on the group’s Facebook page.
