About Us
The mission and vision of Current reflects the need for communities to position themselves to attract and retain young talent. In an age where talent will soon become increasingly difficult to find, Current works to not only keep those individuals in our community, but also to find ways to develop them as the next generation of community and business leaders.
Mission statement
Integrating young professionals into the community personally and professionally.
Vision statement
To become a driving force for economic development in Northeast Wisconsin through recruitment and retention of young professionals.
Current offers programming that aims to bring together young professionals for a common purpose. A creative balance of professional development, leadership development and social networking events offers our members ample opportunity to create new friendships, forge long-term business partnerships and provides exposure to countless community events, activities and venues that our members may not have otherwise considered. This combination contributes to our ability to attract and retain young talent.
Main events
Current hosts a monthly main event that focuses on a topic appealing to young professionals. From cultural experiences to themed entertainment, we balance the need for social networking with professional development to meet our membership’s need for personal growth.
Read to Lead
Current launched this reading group to encourage young professionals to pursue professional development through reading. The program offers participants a chance to network and to reflect on leadership, best practices and other special topics pertinent to a variety of industries. The program is also intended to provide an opportunity for young professionals to interact with area leaders who have significant work experience and are generally more advanced in their careers.
Educational seminars
Current organizes education seminars to address the growing demand to develop both personally and professionally. Seminars range from such topics as how to effectively network to sound financial management. Whatever the topic, Current engages its audience in a meaningful and productive way.
Community tours
Having a strong knowledge of local industry and community venues is of great importance to young professionals. That’s why we host community tours in conjunction with local businesses and community organizations. By letting these organizations showcase what they offer to the community, young professionals become more connected to their community by realizing what it has to offer.
Group activities
Current members are able to join interest groups that organize and plan activities outside of regularly sanctioned Current events. The purpose is to bring together members of Current that share a common interest that want to participate in community events and activities specific to the interest group theme.
