WAUKESHA COUNTY BUSINESS ALLIANCE, INC. | WAUKESHA.ORG 18 As we kick off a new year, it is my honor to begin my term as the Policy Board Chair. The Policy Board, along with the individual policy committees, have shaped policy in Waukesha County and across the state for many years. From the Waukesha Water application to transferrable credits from technical colleges to private universities, the efforts of the Alliance's policy committees have significant influence. Organizations across Wisconsin look to the Alliance as a leader on issues facing the business community. While this year presented unprecedented challenges, our policy committees and the business community came together with resolve and class. Everyone remained focused on the core mission to serve the business community and be a collective voice in Waukesha County and our region.
