K-16 Education Initiatives and Resources | Fox Cities Chamber

The Fox Cities Chamber supports collaboration and connection between business and industry, our regional school districts, and higher education providers. We understand that quality education leads to a skilled workforce and a skilled workforce leads to quality of life in the Fox Cities Region.

We are committed to helping develop the relationships and opportunities for connection that will attract, develop, and retain the talent needed to promote the economic growth and prosperity of employers and the Fox Cities Region well into the future.

Among the K-16 initiatives that are making a difference in our community are:

Excellence in Education Shining Star Awards (Early Childhood-Adult Education)
Fox Cities Days (College outreach)
Future Fox Cities Career Expo (8th-12th grades)
Smart Girls Rock! (9th-12th grades)
