Reducing the Regulatory Burden!  
 
Want to do something to reduce the regulatory burden you face doing business in Wisconsin?  Then attend this event to hear what the Office of Business Development can do for you.  As the ‘concierge service for business’ they help cut through government red tape to solve problems, work with you to identify laws and rules that need to be reformed (or removed) and link you to various business services available in the state.   You won’t want to miss the opportunity to add this 12th man’ service for your business!
