Vision 2022
is a community planning and improvement movement founded by Holy Family
Memorial, Leede Research and Silver Lake College. The group recently completed a Community
Study reaching 2500 households in Manitowoc County. Early results of that process were shared in
November and identified key needs from the perspective of the community. These include creating a community vision and
brand, improving our local image, attracting and retaining young professionals,
improving community health and addressing business and workforce needs. The study identified at least 1300 unfilled
positions in Manitowoc County.
On January 17th,
the group will hold the Vision 2022 Summit at the Holiday Inn, Manitowoc. The event starts at 2pm and will feature a
more complete review of the Community Study data as well as action groups that
have already stepped forward to address key needs from the study. “We are already seeing incredible interest
from groups in the area to help address key needs”, said Dean Halverson, CEO of
Leede Research. “The community truly
sees the need to pull together and set the stage for the future of Manitowoc
County.”
V22 will be
sharing a variety of updates on activities in the community. Progress Lakeshore, The Chamber-Manitowoc
County, Young Professionals of Manitowoc County and Healthiest Manitowoc County will all be
sharing activities in the community that are addressing key needs from the
study. There will also be a featured keynote
speaker, David Beurle from community strategy group Future IQ. Attendees will
have the opportunity to engage in Vision 22 by signing up to be a part of teams
to address key strategic initiatives.
V22 has also
announced that they have developed a simple website as a tool for participants
and the community to access information and coordinate resources. To register for the event visit www.v22mc.org and click on the link for
