I'll be out this coming week so I wanted to send this edition of Get Current in advance. Please take a moment to complete the Global Impact Survey before June 30 and be sure to nominate a deserving individual/company for one of our young professional awards. Have a safe 4th of July holiday! ~Brian

Global Impact Survey

Current, in conjunction with Next Generation Consulting of Madison, is conducting a survey to gauge what young professionals think about the Greater Green Bay Area. We'll then receive and announce comparative results with other communities to see how Green Bay lines up. Greater Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce President Paul Jadin said, "This survey will give us an idea of our handprint on issues that are vital to our ability to recruit and retain the young professionals who will define and build this community in years to come. I hope everyone who receives it will give us an honest appraisal of where we stand.” Click on the banner above and enter the password "current" to get started!

Member Profile: Steve Rodriguez
I am originally from Los Angeles, CA and met my wife through our internet company at a training she was conducting in Southern California. She is originally from Wisconsin and was traveling all over the country to train for our company. I moved to Green Bay we got married 1 and 1/2 years ago. I chose to move to Green Bay for my wife. Compared to Los Angeles, Green Bay offers less traffic, a better cost of living, and the experience of the change of the seasons. From a career standpoint, Green Bay has offered great opportunities for growth in our online business. Through our online business, www.goshopma.com, we have been able to provide our clients in Green Bay access to shop from over 2000 stores, such as Macy's, Cabela's, & Nordstrom. Many of these stores are normally found around the larger metropolitan cities. We can help our clients find great deals from these stores and free shipping offers, saving them time and gas.
