Green Bay, Wis. – Two of Northeast Wisconsin’s most respected business executives will step into the classroom this fall as Schreiber Foods CEO Ron Dunford and Principal of Partner and Board Engagement Cheryl Conley, join UW-Green Bay to teach “Leadership That Matters: From Vision to Impact.”
The series is designed as a working lab for leadership, focused on decision-making, strategy and execution through people. Participants will build the skills to lead in today’s state of constant change, align teams and deliver measurable outcomes in fast-moving environments. From emerging professionals to experienced executives, the course develops leaders who act decisively, think strategically and build high-performing teams.
Dunford leads one of Green Bay’s most influential global companies – Schreiber Foods, recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Employers – and brings four decades of experience building people, culture and results into this fall’s new program.
“Curiosity and continuous learning drive success,” said Dunford. “We’re giving leaders practical guidance and coaching they can use right away to make their teams stronger and more effective, challenging them to think differently about how they lead.”
Monthly sessions are held in-person at Schreiber Foods, giving participants direct exposure to a values-driven, globally scaling organization headquartered in Northeast Wisconsin. Dunford partners with Conley, a longtime Schreiber leader specializing in employee and board engagement, to deliver insights grounded in organizational complexity.
The course is part of UW-Green Bay’s expanding continuing education leadership portfolio—programming designed to strengthen the region’s leadership pipeline and delivered by highly regarded regional leaders. From Supervisory Essentials and Advanced Supervisory Leadership to Nonprofit Leadership, and women’s Emerging and Advanced Leadership, each experience equips professionals to lead where it matters most: in their teams, their organizations and their communities.
UW-Green Bay continues to invest in creating leaders who challenge assumptions, move forward with purpose, and deliver results that last. That’s the kind of leadership that defines the future—and reflects a university built to rise.
