PULSE gets a new look

On August 29th, the Fox Cities Chamber unveiled their new logo, which means that we also got an upgrade! PULSE is still the same great program, now with a fresh new look. Keep an eye out for a chance to win some newly branded PULSE swag at upcoming events like Octoberfest.

Along with the logo, the website has also been given a makeover. Check out the new site and our new and improved PULSE page!

PULSE Women in Leadership Breakfast

This fantastic event is coming back for 2022! On Tuesday, Oct 19th PULSE will host a panel of women who will be talking about Authenticity and Brand Strategy in coordination with Women in Business Week. The event will take place at the Grand Meridian with breakfast included in the ticket price, and ALL are welcome to attend; plus, PULSE members are eligible for exclusive pricing, so stay tuned!

We had a "pawsome" time at Bark in the Park

On August 10th, PULSE gathered at Bark in the Park to cheer on the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and spend the game with some furry friends. Free concessions led to a fun night out enjoying America's pass time, and valuable connections were made throughout. It was great to see PULSE members out and about, and we hope to see you at our next event!
