Dalton has been collecting Cheese Days and Monroe memorabilia for over twenty-five years.

He recently accomplished a personal goal of collecting a Cheese Days souvenir button from every year the event has been held. In addition to a selection of Cheese Days photographs and buttons, this exhibit will include souvenir beer steins, T-shirts, programs, and glassware. Items in Dalton’s Cheese Days Then and Now exhibit will be featured in a coffee table book available during the September 2014 Cheese Days.

That question, asked at last year’s WMC Board of Directors’ Retreat, helped spark The Future Wisconsin Project, a new initiative designed to create a 20-year vision for the Wisconsin economy. The goal of the long-term effort is to identify challenges and threats to the Wisconsin economy, both now and in the future, and seek solutions from a broad coalition of stakeholders including the private sector, government and academia. WMC has partnered with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, the UW System and the Wisconsin Technical College System as the primary drivers of the project. The Future Wisconsin Project will concentrate on six competitive quality indicators or CQIs. They are: Talent development/retention/attraction Business competitiveness Global engagement Government effectiveness Life quality Entrepreneurial spirit The first step of the process was a series of focus groups involving 16 technical colleges, completed in February and March this year. The next step will be engaging the local chambers of commerce, followed by strategy sessions for each CQI involving experts in each of those six areas. All the date collection will culminate with The Future Wisconsin Economic Forum on December 3 at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee. The conference will include “WISCONversations” about the state’s strengths and challenges, and a collective prioritization of the most pressing issues and action steps to address.
