Chamber’s Eckmann to continue to serve on Board for state chamber group

WAUSAU — The Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Dave Eckmann, President/CEO of the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce, will continue to serve on the Board of Advisors for the Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce Executives (WCCE) association. Eckmann was the chair in 2023 and will continue to serve as the past chair in 2025. The WCCE is the state’s professional association of full and part-time executives and staff members of local chambers of commerce. The WCCE is a program of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce.

“The foundation for a successful state economy can be found in the different local chambers and their communities all across Wisconsin.” Said Eckmann. “I was honored to serve as the Chairman of the Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce Executives and I can’t wait to continue collaborating with local chambers and banding together to ensure that we’re helping businesses and local communities thrive all across Wisconsin.”

Last year, Eckmann was replaced by Becky Bartoszek, President/CEO of the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce. Bartoszek will continue in that role in 2025.

Eckmann has been the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce’s President/CEO since 2016. Prior to this role with the Chamber, Eckmann served as the Special Assistant for Economic Development to the Chancellor of UW-Stevens Point. Prior to his time at UWSP, Eckmann worked for MCDEVCO and the Wausau Region Chamber of Commerce. Eckmann has also worked for and managed a family-owned business.
