Chamber Membership

VINNY PODUVAL: “GREATER FOR YOU.”

Greater Green Bay Chamber membership fuels growth, talent and impact.

Vinny Poduval first engaged with the Greater Green Bay Chamber as part of a broader effort to better understand the community he had come to call home. After moving to the area in 2012, he saw an opportunity to deepen that connection through his work with Schreiber Foods.

“There was an opportunity to join, and I thought this was a great way for me to understand more about the community, what it has to offer, and better understand how Schreiber and the Chamber can partner together,” said Poduval.

A former member of the Greater Green Bay Chamber Board of Directors and Executive Committee, Poduval has had a front-row seat to the organization’s impact, and he sees a strong alignment between its mission and that of Schreiber Foods: “When I think about organizations that have missions that are just so in sync, at Schreiber, our strategic priorities are on growth and impact.”

That alignment is especially evident in one critical area: talent.

“We know that if Schreiber needs to grow, then we have to invest in talent,” Poduval said. “And that is probably one of the biggest areas that we have partnered with the Chamber in our ability to attract talent to the area, help retain that talent and then provide them growth opportunities.”

Through a variety of Greater Green Bay Chamber programs and initiatives, Schreiber Foods has embedded itself deeply in the ecosystem. Leaders across the organization are engaged in task forces and programs like Leadership Green Bay and Chamber Young Professionals.

“The list goes on and on in terms of the ability to use all the offerings that the Chamber has for talent attraction, retention and development,” he said. “For example, we have used the Community Concierge Program to attract top talent to this area. You sell the company, the Chamber sells the community.”

Beyond talent, Poduval points to the Greater Green Bay Chamber’s economic development work as another area of meaningful collaboration. He says the Chamber’s impact extends beyond the professional.

“Green Bay has actually become home,” he said. “What the Chamber has allowed me to do is create a network, both professionally and personally, and it’s helped my family truly make this their home.”

When it comes to value, Poduval is clear. “The return on investment of Chamber membership might not be easily measured in dollar and cents,” he said. “But the impact long term is just so amazing that I would call that priceless.”

So what’s been greater for Poduval? “The Chamber has just enriched my life in so many different ways. Our job is to think about, ‘How do we leave tomorrow to be a better version than what we are today?’ and the Chamber helps us do that.”

Consolidated Construction Announces NExt Phase of Leadership Transition

Consolidated Construction Co., Inc. is pleased to announce the promotion of Gene Schleusner to President and Brian Gebauer to Chief Operating Officer, marking the next phase of the company’s leadership model designed to ensure continuity, stability, and continued growth for the employee-owned construction firm.

The promotions come as current President Pam Talavera and CEO John Schneider prepare for their retirement at the end of 2026. While their retirements represent the culmination of decades of leadership and service, the transition has been intentionally planned over several years as part of Consolidated’s ongoing commitment to organizational strength and succession readiness.

As a company that has evolved through multiple generations of leadership, Consolidated has long recognized that successful transitions are built through preparation, mentorship, and the deliberate development of future leaders. The company’s employee ownership structure and deep leadership bench have helped create a framework that supports orderly transitions while preserving the culture, relationships, and values that have defined the organization.

“One of the greatest responsibilities of any leader is preparing the next generation to succeed,” said Pam Talavera, President of Consolidated Construction. “This transition has never been about replacing people; it’s about building continuity. Gene and Brian have earned the trust and respect of our employees, customers, and industry partners through years of leadership and commitment to our mission. I couldn’t be more confident in the future of Consolidated.”

  • Gene Schleusner
  • Brian Gebauer

In his new role as President, Schleusner will continue leading the strategic direction of the company, while fostering growth, strengthening customer relationships, and advancing

Consolidated’s vision for the future. Having served in executive leadership positions for many years, he has played a significant role in the company’s culture, business development efforts, and long-term planning.

“The strength of Consolidated has never rested with one individual,” said Schleusner. “It comes from a diverse, talented team and a strong culture. This transition reflects years of preparation and a commitment to ensuring continuity for the more than 100 families who depend on this company. I’m honored to build on the strong foundation that’s been created and help lead Consolidated into its next chapter.”

As Chief Operating Officer, Gebauer will oversee day-to-day operations and help lead the execution of the company’s strategic objectives. Throughout his over twenty year tenure with Consolidated, he has been instrumental in managing complex projects, developing operational talent, and driving the high standards of performance that define the company’s selling proposition.

Although Talavera and Schneider will retire from their day-to-day responsibilities at the end of the year, both will remain involved through board leadership roles, helping ensure a smooth transition while providing continued guidance and support.

HSHS and Lifepoint Rehabilitation Celebrate Grand Opening of New Rehabilitation HOspital In Howard

Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) and Lifepoint Rehabilitation, an operating division of Lifepoint Health, recently celebrated the grand opening of the Hospital Sisters Health System | Rehabilitation Hospital. The new 40-bed facility will serve patients across Northeast Wisconsin and is located on South Taylor Street near HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center. The facility will officially begin serving patients on Tuesday, July 21.

The joint-venture hospital expands regional access to specialized rehabilitation care. Equipped with 40 private rooms, the facility doubles the capacity of the current inpatient rehabilitation unit at HSHS St. Vincent Hospital, allowing that space to be repurposed in the future to support acute care demand. Additionally, the rehabilitation hospital introduces Northeast Wisconsin’s only dedicated, secure inpatient neurological recovery unit.

On July 16, Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) and Lifepoint Rehabilitation, celebrated the grand opening of the Hospital Sisters Health System | Rehabilitation Hospital.

“Today is the result of a shared vision to elevate rehabilitation care for Northeast Wisconsin,” said Bob Erickson, President and CEO, HSHS Wisconsin Market. “By opening these doors, we are making it possible for patients to stay close to their families and support systems during their recovery. Being able to provide this level of highly specialized, compassionate care close to home is a meaningful step forward for our community and our Franciscan mission.”

The freestanding facility is custom designed to promote movement, equipped with multidisciplinary therapy gymnasiums, outdoor courtyards and a specialized “activities of daily living” (ADL) suite that allows patients to safely practice real-world tasks. Day-to-day operations will be managed by Lifepoint Rehabilitation, and comprehensive clinical care will be provided by an expert team of skilled nurses and therapists supported by Prevea Health physicians and advanced practice clinicians.

“Our partnership with HSHS is rooted in dedication to advancing patient recovery and we are excited to expand access to rehabilitation care to the Green Bay area and beyond,” said Russ Bailey, president of Lifepoint Rehabilitation. “Every aspect of this new facility was intentionally designed to mimic real-world environments. This dynamic setting empowers our clinical teams to deliver the individualized therapies that ultimately help patients reclaim their independence and return to their lives.”

Located within the established medical corridor off I-41, the rehabilitation hospital is down the street from HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center, where construction is underway for a new inpatient bed tower, as well as the Prevea Medical Office Building and Prevea Ambulatory Surgery Center.

Chamber Membership

ROBYN DAVIS: “GREATER GROWTH.”

Greater Green Bay Chamber membership fuels growth, talent and impact.

Robyn Davis first connected with the Greater Green Bay Chamber while serving as president of Freedom House Ministries when she was invited to participate in focus groups shaping the Greater Green Bay Chamber Economic Development Strategic Plan.

“That was the first time that I really came together with Chamber members,” she said. “I appreciated the fact that I was being asked to contribute to a community-wide strategy.”

That invitation left a lasting impression. “It meant that the Chamber valued my perspective, valued my insight, and really wanted to include the perspective that I had as a nonprofit CEO in the future of the community,” she said. “And really giving voice to the community that I served at that time. It was families with children experiencing homelessness.”

As her career evolved into her current role as president and CEO of Brown County United Way, Davis found that early connection became foundational. She points to a partnership that brings together business, nonprofits, government and education to tackle shared challenges.

After contributing to the strategic plan, Davis was asked to lead the Chamber’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusiveness Task Force.

“That brought me to the table again in a greater way with business leaders, the government, etc.,” she said. “Being placed in that leadership role was a surprise, but really seeing the development of that work was just a natural fit.”

She points to workforce development as one of the most pressing challenges the Greater Green Bay Chamber helps address. “Regardless of whether you’re a business, nonprofit, government agency or higher education, we’re all concerned about where our workforce is coming from,” she said.

Through her work, she has elevated conversations around Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) households and economic stability: “How do we work together to stabilize the workforce, and also what do we do to provide those supports as businesses are recruiting?”

Beyond strategy, Davis emphasizes the Greater Green Bay Chamber’s role in building relationships. That connectivity has shaped her growth as a leader. “Coming to the networking events, you really get to create those one-on-one connections with folks,” she said.

Davis engages with the Greater Green Bay Chamber as a nonprofit leader, individual professional and entrepreneur. Across all three roles, one theme stands out: “It’s the visibility,” she said. “It is meaningful to be a member of the Greater Green Bay Chamber. Being a member is very important.”

She also sees the Greater Green Bay Chamber as a tool for team development through programs like Leadership Green Bay and Chamber Young Professionals. “We are always looking for cost effective ways to provide training and networking opportunities,” she said. “As a Chamber member, we have access to lasting relationships.”

So what’s been greater for Davis? “The relationships that come from being a member. It makes you feel part of something greater in the community, a greater sense of personal value.”

Chamber Ambassador Spotlight

MEET PAUL EVANSEN

Chamber Ambassadors represent the Greater Green Bay Chamber in the community and actively engage with members and nonmembers. These dedicated volunteers serve as trusted liaisons, answering questions about membership, promoting local businesses, attending Chamber events and celebrating milestones at ribbon cuttings and groundbreakings.

Every Chamber Ambassador brings a unique story and a personal commitment to making Green Bay a better place to live, work and do business. In this monthly blog series, we introduce the passionate individuals who give their time, energy and enthusiasm to serve our members.

Paul Evansen became a Chamber Ambassador in 2024. A commercial landscape sales consultant at Vande Hey Company, Inc., he hoped the opportunity would help him expand his personal and professional network in Greater Green Bay.

Paul describes his role as a liaison between local businesses and the community that supports them as “very rewarding.” He believes it’s important for business owners to know they are not alone: “Going into business at any size or level can be daunting. The Greater Green Bay Chamber works to help them know they are not on an island but have a team behind them, supporting them and cheering for them.”

Some of his favorite moments as a Chamber Ambassador come from conversations with business owners who are unaware of the resources available through the Greater Green Bay Chamber. He especially enjoys hearing, “I had no idea the Chamber offered that,” after sharing more information. Paul has also valued the time spent with his fellow Chamber Ambassadors: “Personally, [my favorite memory] was laughing while competing with my fellow Ambassadors on a golf simulator at our 2024 [Chamber Ambassador] Bash.”

What would Paul tell those interested in becoming a Chamber Ambassador? “Make the time to do it ‘right,’ and you will gain friends, insight and the personal satisfaction that comes with serving others in your community.”
