'It opens your eyes.' How Green Bay Packers leaders Mark Murphy, Marcia Anderson learned about the power of diversity
GREEN BAY PRESS GAZETTE
Marcia Anderson and Mark Murphy had two dramatically different childhood experiences growing up in the 1960s.
Murphy spent his school-age years in Clarence, a small town in Upstate New York where the population was, and still is, over 95% white.
Meanwhile, Anderson grew up in East St. Louis, an Illinois city across the Mississippi from St. Louis that was more diverse during her childhood but is now over 96% Black.
Yet their paths took them both to leadership positions with the Green Bay Packers, where Murphy has been president and CEO for 14 years and Anderson — who was the highest-ranking Black woman ever in the U.S. Army before retiring — was elevated last year to the team's executive committee...

Spotlight in the Community: Kevin Osgood and Sam Perlman of Door County Maritime Museum
DOOR COUNTY DAILY NEWS
DOOR COUNTY -- Telling you the stories of Door County’s maritime history and inspiring the next generation is not something Kevin Osgood and Sam Perlman at the Door County Maritime Museum take lightly. In recent years, the pair have introduced a number of educational components to the county’s schools including the SeaPerch robotics competition. Sevastopol had earned a trip to the international competition before the pandemic wiped out the event. Recently, the museum began the process of recruiting boys and girls for a future Sea Scouts ship, something Osgood said earlier this month would be a tremendous opportunity.
Osgood and Perlman are also overseeing the Maritime Tower Project, which held the ribbon cutting for two more floors on Friday. The floors highlight the history of navigational tools and the area’s shipwrecks. The process has brought dozens of artifacts out of storage and into the public’s eye for the first time while using touch screens to captivate a younger audience. Perlman is excited for the public to embrace the area’s maritime history and look ahead to the future...Read More 3>
