K-12 Education: a Multi-Billion Dollar Wisconsin Industry

The Independent Business Association of Wisconsin (IBAW) hosts “K-12 Education: Perspective on a Multi-Billion Dollar Wisconsin Industry.” The program will be held on January 21, 2022, 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. at the Wisconsin Club, 900 W Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. A plated breakfast will be served.

Tom Parks, Annex Wealth Management, and IBAW Public Policy Chair, will lead a discussion with Elmbrook Schools District Superintendent Mark Hansen and State Senator Dale Kooyenga providing insight into the relationship between local school districts and state government, how Wisconsin’s K-12 education is funded, and the evolving collaborative efforts between schools and private industry.

Steve Kohlmann, executive director of IBAW, said, “A lot of your tax dollars go to funding of public schools, but how is that money being spent? Is it enough? Are our kids getting the education we paid for? And what does all this mean for Wisconsin’s future workforce?”

IBAW members will meet for an in-person meeting at the Wisconsin Club. Note that advance registration is required. Seating will be limited at this event. Walk-ins cannot be accommodated.

Since 1971, the Independent Business Association of Wisconsin (IBAW) was formed for small business owners to engage in conversation relating to legislation impacting the bottom-line costs of businesses throughout Wisconsin. IBAW is a venue for high-level CEOs, CFOs, COOs, other upper management, and entrepreneurs to network, exchange business ideas, and become educated and involved on issues that impact their business. IBAW is time well spent!
