Letter
from our President
Dear Visitors, Alumni and Participants,
As a resident of Germantown for over 15 years, I have
been an advocate of community involvement being the fundamental part in growing
area businesses, leaders and programs. There is no other program that does this
more than Leadership Germantown. Through the many programs and participants who
have graduated from this program since it began in 2000, Germantown has
continued to strengthen it's presence in Southeastern Wisconsin and had ranked
in the Top 100 place to live in the United State for three of the last ten years by Money Magazine.
When new businesses, people and families move to
Germantown, we are able to share with them the high ratings of our schools, our
excellence in police protection and the outstanding offerings of our Parks and
Rec department. I can tell them how area business owners from independents to large companies contribute to our
community with projects like the Kid's Closet and the Tree Stock fundraiser to
beautify Germantown. Our strong ties with the Germantown Historical Society Oktoberfest,
Kiwanis with Mai Fest and the 4th of July Parade along with others
help to keep our deep heritage and sense of community alive.
Leadership Germantown is the catalyst for these
programs because the participants come from all areas of the community and share
a desire to learn about Germantown, enhance its development and strive to make
it a better place to live. By doing
this, participants grow both professionally and personally as they expand their
network of opportunity and gain life-long friendships in the process.
If you were to
ask me "what can I do as a new person in Germantown" or "how can I help the
community", my answer is to join Leadership Germantown. I will be happy to
share my personal experience as a resident and independent business owner as
well as refer you to many others who can share their experience.
Please contact
me. I look forward to hearing from you and learning how you can help Germantown
and how Leadership Germantown can benefit you.
Kevin Nash
President of the Board
