LEADERSHIP
FOX CITIES
“I alone cannot change
the world, but I can cast
a stone across the water
to create many ripples.”
-Mother Teresa
CLASS OF
2014-2015
Congratulations class of 2015!
You made it through this unique community driven leadership
program. My hope is that you’ve become more aware of our great
community and some of its accolades, as well as some of its
challenges. As a result, may you find things that move you to get
more involved and start leading in the community and your places
of business in ways that you haven’t before.
I’ve enjoyed getting to know you and observing friendships and
collaborations develop between you over the course of the year. I
can guarantee that some of you will be connected for a very long
time as a result.
What you have been able to accomplish within your small group
projects is nothing short of amazing! Thank you for donating your
time, talent and treasure in planning and executing such wonderful
and valuable community driven projects. These projects not only
help 6 different non-profits in the area, but countless people will be impacted for many years
to come!
As an alumni, I know first hand how important the alumni are to the future success of this
program. My interest in the program came from conversations I had with community members
who were past graduates. As the director, I’m always happy to share information about the
program, but my passion for the program comes from being a past participant. This program is
sold and resold by you. The stories you share prove to be the best and most effective tool we
have when it comes to recruiting.
Many graduates serve on our LFC Steering Committee. They are people who develop and
design programming for the future LFC sessions. I am sincerely grateful to every committee
member for their continued dedication, commitment and support. I am so blessed and happy
to know and work with these outstanding people.
Congratulations again LFC class of 2015! I look forward to meeting up with you in the
future. Highest Regards,
Joy Kapheim
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn
more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

“Twenty years from now you
will be more disappointed by
the things that you didn’t do
than by the ones you did do,
so throw off the bowlines,
sail away from safe harbor,
catch the trade winds in
your sails. Explore. Dream.
Discover.”
-Mark Twain
Projects
Leadership’s Little Libraries
Members: Jennifer Banta-Kroll, Jennifer Blackmore,
Drew Bodway, Jake Dietz, Lindsay Fenlon, Meagan
Hardwick, Lisa Werner
Objective: To support literacy in areas where
children in need can have easier access to books
for ownership. Our other goal is to support parents,
especially single parents or low-income parents,
with small children who may have difficulty (due
to time, childcare, or transportation) in accessing
library and literacy development services. To
achieve both of these goals, we planned to build,
decorate and “plant” 10 little libraries throught the
Fox Cities area.
Outcome/Impact: In collaboration with Little
Chute High School and Menasha High School,
we have 10 little libraries that have been built
and decorated by students. These libraries will
be “planted” in various locations throughout the
Fox Cities, including local non-profits (LEAVEN
and the Housing Partnership), organizations and
private residences in low-income neighborhoods.
Funding for this project was generously donated
by local leaders. Books to supply the little libraries
were donated by the Menasha Elementary School
Libraries.
Boys & Girls Club - Healthy
Living Garden & Green Space
Members: Josh Dukelow, Mary Gronbach, Janice
Jackering, Travis Jones, Erin Marquez and Brenda
Smongeski
Objective: To create a flexible outdoor space
and classroom curriculum for Boys & Girls Club
members to learn about health, nutrition, and
wellness. The healthy living space includes a
learning garden with raised garden beds and a
compost bin; an outdoor classroom with picnic
tables and shade trees and a large play area for
members to be inspired by the fitness messages
found on the banners that surround the garden.
Outcome/Impact: The creation of an outdoor
classroom and exercise space will serve
as a solid foundation of wellness for Club
members. Curriculum centered on growing
healthy food, preparing nutritious meals,
and the health benefits of physical activity
will be used by the Healthy Habits Clubs
that already exist at the Boys & Girls Club.

Fox Valley Sibling Support
Network (FVSSN)
Team: Chris Hauser, Julie Luker, Michele Martin,
Jennie Moore, Chris Snyder, Manny Vasquez
Objective: To increase funding and awareness for
the northeast Office of Make-A-Wish Wisconsin,
while also providing a forum for families of children
with life-threatening medical conditions to gather
and create relationships and beautiful works of art.
Objective: The primary goal was to plan and
execute an event with the FVSSN on April 10, 2015.
Secondarily, the goal was to raise the awareness of
the FVSSN within the community.
Outcome/Impact: The creation of numerous
personalized pieces of artwork that Make-A-Wish
Wisconsin could use for fundraising and awarenessbuilding at already-established fundraising events.
We helped form new relationships with the three local
businesses, which will benefit both the Northeast
Wisconsin office of Make-A-Wish, and the local
businesses in the form of publicity and recognition
for their participation. We provided an opportunity
for the wish children to remain engaged with, and
give back to, the Make-A-Wish® Foundation, along
with a networking opportunity for their parents and
family members.
Outcome/Impact: Our project raised the awareness
of the Fox Valley Sibling Support Program and we
coordinated an event on April 10, 2015 which fell on
national Sibling’s Day. FVSSN is the predecessor of
the WisconSibs organization who helps hundreds of
children, teens and adults who live each day with
siblings with autism, intellectual/developmental
disabilities, physical disabilities and mental illness
and connect with resources and each other to help
them throughout their lifelong journey. Our role was
to become the planning committee for the April 10th
anchor event. The goal is to plan and organize the
event, select the proper venue, promote the event,
and engage community leaders to participate and
advertise the event.
Children’s Hospital of WisconsinFox Valley Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit Environment and
Experience Upgrade
Team: Preston Kendall, Zach Knase, Sondra Norder,
Heidi Schmidt, Suzanne Seegers, Chris VanDreese
Objective: The overarching objective of our project
is to help create an environment and experience
in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) that
instills hope in the families of its patients. From the
aesthetics and technology within the unit to the
support that families receive, we identified several
opportunities to make an impact on the comfort
and connectedness that families feel during these
challenging and emotional situations. By bringing
families together to share their journeys in a support
group setting, adding uplifting images and patient
success stories to the environment, and providing
new technology to the waiting and family resource
areas, we will be helping the NICU become a place of
inspiration, encouragement, and reassurance.
Outcome/Impact: We helped revamp a family
support group that will begin meeting monthly
for dinner and sharing once again. We created a
significant piece of wall art that includes patient
success stories and images of the miracles that are
born and grow in NICUs and beyond. With funds
raised, we provided the NICU with new technology;
a new flat screen television and blu-ray player,
replaced the tube television and VCR in the lobby,
and web-cams for connection with offsite/longdistance family members were wadded to the family
resource area.
Valley Packaging Industries
Communications Initative
Team: Eric Aronson, Robert Bobnock, Betsy Borns,
Mary Downs, Amy Kester, Anna Wilcox
Objective: Increase awareness about the programs
and impact of Valley Packaging Industries (VPI)
rehabilitation services through a collaborative
communications initiative. The project has two
components: 1) to create and disseminate a
marketing brochure focused on VPI’s prevocational
rehabilitation program and 2) to produce a short
video highlighting the impact of VPI’s rehabilitation
program.
Outcome/Impact: Leadership Fox Cities (LFC)
team members collaborated with both VPI staff and
students at the Appleton Career Academy within
Appleton North High School for graphic design and
video work. Based on design ideas produced by
Appleton Career Academy students, the brochure
promotes VPI rehabilitation programs and will be
distributed to key constituency groups. LFC team
members finalized the brochure in digital format
and secured paper and printing facility donations
to produce a long-term supply of hardcopy
brochures. The short promotional video is intended
for a variety of audiences and has potential to be
used during presentations, on the VPI website, on
VPI social media sites, for fundraising efforts, and
for similar marketing purposes.
Interests
The new class of leaders identifies the topics or issues in which they are experienced or interested in.
This supports the belief that individuals with passion and commitment to a cause or need will provide
dedicated service, in order to assist local non-profits and other community-serving organizations. This
listing is a community resource.
