Monday, January 23, 2012 at 9:02AM 
For the February IMA-GMC Dinner Meeting, we go right to the top to get some answers. Governor Scott Walker has pledged to create 250,000 new jobs in our state in his first term. Paul Jadin, the man who is responsible for making that happen, will give IMA-GMC members an "Economic State of the State Address." This is a presentation not to be missed.
On December 30, 2010, Governor Scott Walker appointed Paul Jadin to lead the Department of Commerce and accomplish the transition to the public-private Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation. He will serve as its CEO on the establishment of the corporation on July 1, 2011.
From 2003 until his appointment to lead the WEDC, Paul Jadin was president and CEO of the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce. He directly oversaw economic development, government affairs, member services, and education functions. From 1995-2003, Jadin served two terms as Mayor of Green Bay, directly supervising all departments and managing a workforce of 950. He led economic development efforts that yielded a 50-percent increase in the tax base over his two terms in office.
Jadin earned a B.A. in Political Science from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, and an MS in Public Administration from Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL.
