Last week, Sarah Gomez was named as the new full-time CEO of Midwest Partnership after carrying the interim title for a couple of weeks. Gomez says her predecessor, Chad Schreck, who left for a similar position in a larger market, was a great leader, and she doesn’t see Midwest Partnership veering from the course originally set by him, “I feel confident that I can continue in the direction that we’re going. We’ve already landed some big expansions for the region over the past several years, and we’ve stirred up conversations in many communities about small business and entrepreneurship, and I’m just looking forward to more exciting collaboration with communities to come.”
