Our Mission
To facilitate professional and social growth, build talent, foster and create connections, strengthen the community, and offer leadership opportunities.
Our Vision
To be an instrumental part of the long-term success of individuals in Marquette County through collaboration, inclusiveness, innovation, and the U.P. work ethic.
About Our Board
We are a working but volunteer Board. This means that we don’t have a large team of staff to execute the work of the organization. Instead, we are the ones working to make sure that the organization meets the members’ needs by planning, coordinating, and executing events (networking, professional development, and volunteer events) as well as marketing the events.
In addition, we plan and manage the budget for the organization with the help of the Lake Superior Community Partnership‘s Financial Controller. We also run two flagship events, the Iron Range Roll and the Connect Conference.
Gain leadership experience through roles like organization President, Vice President, Conference Co-Chair, Iron Range Roll Co-Chair, Events & Marketing Co-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer.
Our Board Expectations
Each board member has a role on the board and oversees some aspects of the organization.
- Commit to at least 1 2-year term
- Attend 1 board meeting per month
- Sit on at least one committee
- Regularly attend events when available
