In an effort to reach out to Latinos and Hispanics during National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15) and understand the challenges facing this community, Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann arranged the first-ever roundtable with 11 area business owners at Casa Guadalupe on Tuesday, October 12. According to the last Census, there are approximately 4,400 individuals in Washington County who identify as Hispanic or Latino.

Following a unanimous vote at the 2021 Wisconsin Counties Association (WCA) Annual Conference, held September 26-28, 2021, in La Crosse, Wis., County Executive Schoemann was named president of the Wisconsin County Executives and Administrators Association, Inc. (WEAC).
