Listening always comes before understanding. Understanding must always come before finding a mutual path forward. That's one of the lessons B Local Wisconsin President Lisa Geason-Bauer, Trained B Consultant hopes that everyone can pick up from locals while attending #ChampionsRetreat2026 in Milwaukee. "What works in one community won’t always work in another. That’s the point of staying curious: to listen, to adapt, to understand where you are. That’s what I hope people feel when they come. Not flash, not noise. Just the calm of a place that moves at the pace of trust. That’s yet another lesson Wisconsin has to offer the movement." Hear more about why now is the time and Milwaukee is the place for the B Corp Movement to meet, collaborate, and work together on crafting a shared vision by reading our full interview with Lisa.

Why does hosting #ChampionsRetreat2026 in Milwaukee make sense? According to B Local Wisconsin president Lisa Geason-Bauer, Trained B Consultant it's because the region accurately reflects the rest of the country in miniature. “This is the right time for the movement to come here. Wisconsin is a microcosm of the country. It’s politically mixed, geographically diverse, and defined by people who make things happen by working across differences. That’s the kind of collaboration the world needs right now.” Learn more about why now is the right time to meet in the Midwest by reading our recent interview on the B Lab U.S. & Canada Blog.
