Goal Setting Meeting
Stayer Center at Marian College in Fond du Lac

At the direction of the members at the June 13 meeting, we have scheduled a facilitated discussion to decide the direction the Alliance will take on: new forms of local government, consolidation of services and financing, including regional taxes and service delivery based on regional rather than traditional boundaries. Alliance staff will draft a legislative proposal based on the discussion and goals set by those attending the meeting for approval at the September 20 meeting in LaCrosse.
