Check out video highlights from City Exchange: Chicago attended by Executive Director Stephanie Hacker and hosted by the Hoan Group and Michael Best & Friedrich LLP. Great opportunity for leaders to break down regional silos, foster collaboration, and exchange best practices!
The Hoan Group City Exchange recap brings a smile to my face :) Shaping a community rarely takes place in the board room with an agenda, for our generation, it looks more like this...and we shouldn't apologize for it. The goal? Breaking down regional silos to foster innovation, collaboration, and strong relationships. We connected top executives and leaders across Milwaukee, Madison, the New North, and Chicago for an exchange of #ideas and best practices, all while having fun. Big thanks to Michael Best & Friedrich LLP team Susan (Lee) Hollender, Jason B. Schultz for always saying YES to new collaborations and to Kim van Elswyk & Regan Andersen for crushing the execution.
