For the last 30 years, Tim Sheehy has run the region’s largest chamber of commerce, supporting 1,800 member companies and the 300,000 residents they employ. This year, he stepped down from the role, leaving a legacy of unmatched influence and business leadership.

Considered one of Milwaukee’s most powerful leaders, Tim has been at the helm of countless initiatives improving our city as a place to live, work and play. He has helped Milwaukee keep the Brewers and the Bucks, aided in securing more shared revenue to the city, launched a city-wide workplace DEI initiative, ensured that more families have K-12 school choices–and that’s just scratching the surface!

Join us for coffee with Tim, as we look back over his achievements and look forward to where his influence and passions will lead him in his next chapter.

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 11:22:35 GMT

The MMAC and Living As A Leader are collaborating to offer our ninth Emerging Leader Series. To date, dozens of high-performing individual contributors in the Greater Milwaukee Area have experienced the benefit of this professional development experience.

*An emerging leader is an individual contributor not yet in a leadership role. You may be grooming these individuals for future leadership, or you may want to sharpen their influence skills for the roles they are in.

This is a comprehensive six-month program designed to develop and equip emerging leaders with the skills and knowledge to more effectively interact with and influence others around them...hence strengthening both productivity and fulfillment at work. The next 2024 series will kick off on Wednesday, May 23rd.

We invite you to attend an information session to learn more about the program. Aleta Norris, partner at Living As A Leader, will provide an overview of the series, which includes monthly skill-building workshops, and small group coaching sessions. During this information session, you will have an opportunity to learn the key features of this impactful series and have your questions answered.

You can register for the information session. Even if you can't make this session, register and we'll send you the recording.
