If there’s a theme for today’s Cheese Curds, it’s “mentoring.” The Green Bay Packers have established a robust mentoring program for fledgling businesses in the Fox Valley area and throughout Wisconsin, and this week they celebrated some of the successes of that program with an awards ceremony.
Yet another brainchild of team president Mark Murphy, this program is doing some great things for small businesses in the community, particularly those with diverse ownership. It’s just another way that the Packers as an organization are giving back to the city and the state that they call home, and it’s a model program that other organizations could aspire to.
