Gov. Tony Evers has appointed Pamela Boivin to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) board of directors filling a vacancy created by the resignation of Willie Smith from the board.
“Pamela brings a depth of experience and knowledge to the WEDC Board of Directors, with a demonstrated commitment to ensuring all of our Wisconsin communities succeed,” said Gov. Evers in a press release announcing the appointment. “Pamela’s input and insight will help drive the mission of this board as it supports WEDC’s efforts to build an economy for all where everyone in Wisconsin has the opportunity to thrive.”
Boivin serves as executive director of Woodland Financial Partners, Inc. (WFP), a federally certified Native community development financial institution (CDFI) that provides alternative financing and development services for entrepreneurs and small businesses on to eleven federally recognized Tribes in Wisconsin.
“I am deeply honored and grateful for the governor’s appointment to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation,” said Boivin. “The WEDC plays a vital role in supporting innovation, business development, and job creation in our state and fostering support for diverse business development. I am excited to collaborate with the WEDC administration, board members, and the companies and communities it serves. Together, we will build a strong Wisconsin business climate that benefits everyone.”
