We would like to announce that Everett Butzine is no longer with MadREP. We take this moment to acknowledge and thank Everett for his leadership and significant contributions to regional economic development during his tenure. Throughout his time with us, he played pivotal roles in key projects across the region, helping to strengthen our economic development initiatives in South Central Wisconsin.
