Green Bay, WI – At the UW-Green Bay winter reception and dinner, Executive Director of Wello, Natalie Bomstad, was presented with the Community Service Award for her immense contributions to the Northeastern Wisconsin community. The Wello team, along with UW-Green Bay staff and alumni, the Council of Trustees, and representatives from Northeast Wisconsin businesses and nonprofits, came together to congratulate Bomstad on the acceptance of her award.
The Community Service Award is given to recognize community members who have made significant contributions and have done exceptional community work. The award honors those who have demonstrated outstanding service that has positively impacted our region.
Early on, Bomstad recognized the gap in local well-being data and spearheaded an effort to establish Brown County’s first measures of subjective resident well-being in 2018. She is passionate about co-creating transformational change to the policies, systems, and structures that influence individual and community well-being through strong relationship and trust building, and this passion is continually demonstrated through her work with Wello.
Wello’s mission is to co-create community conditions that are fair and just, to drive high levels of health and well-being for all. They work to ensure everyone has the opportunity to be their best self and live their best lives and strive to build a legacy of well-being across Wisconsin communities. By giving community members a platform to continually share their voice and provide valuable direction for the community, Wello aims to put a stop to the health disparities in Brown County that are perpetuated by racism and bring light to discrimination as a whole, and specifically its effects on individual health and well-being.
