A message from Tempo Kenosha Board President, Tina Schmitz

It has been my pleasure to serve as President of Tempo Kenosha these past two years. As my term comes to an end this week, I want to thank you as I reflect on all that we have accomplished. This organization plays an important role in the community as a networking group for women who make a difference - if you are reading this YOU make a difference! Thank you to all members, past and present, and many, many speakers, for their participation in making this such a great group. We end the year with 52 members and 3 waiting to join next month; we have had roughly 130 speakers and have awarded $11,000 in scholarships to date! We also have a new and robust website, and a more streamlined process for our monthly events. And finally, a special thank you to the Board of Directors who without their support and hard work would not make all this possible.

 

Now to announce our Tempo Kenosha Board lineup for 2023. Please help me welcome:

  • Kristi Schaeffer Kleutsch, President

  • Tina Schmitz, Past President & Marketing Chair

  • Casie Arnone, Vice President

  • Laura Burnett Shoemaker, Secretary

  • Sammie Lancia, Treasurer

  • Gina Madrigrano Friebus, Founding Member

  • Rita Hagen, Membership Chair & Founding Member

  • Teri Gamble, Program Chair & New Board Member

  • Caralie Ferguson, New Board Member

 

Happy New Year! Tina Schmitz
