February 2025 Monthly Recap

February's Leadership session focused on Government & Emergency Services where participants first gathered at Chippewa Falls' City Hall to hear from a panel of speakers in local government, then a panel of speakers in public safety/emergency services. From there, the group visited Chippewa County courthouse, heard from a County Board panel, then toured Chippewa County Jail. Learning how local municipalities and public safety teams work together throughout our County and beyond, showed this year's class what it means to be a part of a community and needing to support each other to keep our community safe and thriving.

Middle school students from CFAUSD visited McDonald's- Chippewa Falls where they got a behind-the-scenes tour and were introduced to their extensive scholarship programs. Next stop was CVTC to learn about their Culinary Management Program. After touring the kitchens, CVTC culinary students prepared a delicious lunch for the middle schoolers. Next, the group visited Staybridge Suites Eau Claire - Altoona where students discovered additional career opportunities in the Hospitality industry.
