The Fox Locks are run by a volunteer board of directors comprised of community leaders and representatives from state agencies. There are two members each from Brown, Outagamie and Winnebago Counties and designees of the Secretaries of the Departments of Natural Resources, Transportation, and the Director of the State Historical Society.
We had the opportunity to chat with John Vette III, CEO and Chairman of the SNC Manufacturing Company in Oshkosh. John has been running this family-owned business for decades and has a strong background in international business.
