A message from Jeanna Fischbach, OWC President 2026-27

As a Club, we celebrate both continuity and new beginnings. Our club stands firmly rooted in 77 years of purpose — a legacy built by women who gave their time, their talents, and their hearts to strengthening Oconomowoc.

As I begin my service as your President, I’m honored to continue the work that has strengthened this club for 77 years. I look forward to growing this next season with all of you.

Before we begin, I want to take a moment to recognize our outgoing president and the leadership she has provided. Her service has strengthened our club and added to the deep roots that support us today. As she steps away from her role, we honor her contributions and extend our gratitude. Leadership transitions are part of our 77-year story, and today we continue that story with unity, purpose, and optimism.

Our theme for this year is Rooted in Purpose. Growing in Strength. Stretching the Community. This theme reflects not only who we are, but who we are becoming, and the symbol guiding us, the Wisconsin Sugar Maple, beautifully mirrors the women of this club.

Our past members are the roots — deep, strong, and foundational. Our present members are the trunk — steady, supportive, and carrying our mission forward. Our newest and future members are the branches and leaves — reaching outward, welcoming new ideas, and expanding our impact.

Together, we form a living, growing tree — one that continues to stretch toward the community we serve.

Today marks the beginning of our next season. We honor the leadership that has carried us to this moment, and we embrace the opportunities ahead with optimism, unity, and purpose.

Thank you for being here, for showing up with intention, and for continuing to grow this remarkable organization. I’m grateful to lead alongside you.
