A Special Note from Mr. Bob Harlan . . .

Mr. Bob Harlan, President of the Green Bay Packers organization, shares these thoughts…

“The Green Bay Packers are so pleased that this important event for Wisconsin teachers is being held at Lambeau Field. We are long-time supporters of Economics Wisconsin's mission of improving economic and financial education for Wisconsin 's youth. As a board member of Economics Wisconsin I firmly believe that the best way to accomplish this goal is through teacher education and training.”
