"I look forward to sharing our success stories with my colleagues from around the state, and bringing best-practice ideas from elsewhere back to Kenosha County."

Other board members include Past President/Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann, Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach, Door County Administrator Ken Babich, Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson, and Lincoln County Administrative Coordinator Renee Krueger.
