In their meeting on July 17th, the Door County Economic Development Corporation welcomed two members to their board of directors, Jackie Bongle and Dale Wiegand. 

Jackie Bongle and Dale Wiegand will join the nine directors already on the board, who help aid the Door County Economic Development Corporation in a governing role. The board of directors consist of members that are experts in certain areas of expertise and that make sure each part of the county is represented, from northern door to the southern part of Door County. DCEDC Executive Director Michelle Lawrie talks about bringing on the two board members, and what they will bring or continue to bring in some cases to the organization. 

Bongle is the Human Resources Manager at Hatco and has been with the Sturgeon Bay company for the past 23 years. She previously served on DCEDC’s Business and Education Partnership Committee. Wiegand is a Door County native with an extensive background in local government. He has served on the Egg Harbor Town Board for the past 10 years, including a time as its chairman, and also previously served on the Door County Board of Supervisors.
