OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Wisconsin Boys & Girls Club Hall of Fame inducted several individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh.
Tracy Ogden, CEO of the Oshkosh club, was recognized for advancing the B&GC’s mission not only in Oshkosh, but also across Wisconsin and on a national level.
“It takes a great CEO to manage all of the intricacies involved in making a local Club successful,” said Dan Hebel, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac, in a news release. “A CEO achieves at a higher level when they extend that passion, knowledge and experience outside of their local Club. Tracy has done that in spades. Her commitment to statewide, regional and national Boys & Girls Club work is truly remarkable.”
Her representation and care for the Club brand sets her apart and is evidence that she cares deeply about our collective role in shaping the lives of young people. Her contributions to Boys & Girls Clubs will be dutifully recognized with her induction into the Hall of Fame this year.
Also inducted was the Hyde family, honored for their long-standing support of the Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh. Officials say this commitment spans multiple generations and more than four decades.
“Their legacy of leadership and generosity began with Charles F. Hyde Jr. and Joyce Hyde and continues through their children Doug and his wife Chrys, Peg Wachtel and Thomas Hyde. Since the early 1980s, the Hyde family has played a transformative role in the growth and life of our Club,” said Sue Ackerman, a past board president of the Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh, in the release.
They are the most generous, caring, loving, giving people I’ve ever met, and we are so delighted to induct them into our Hall of Fame.
To be inducted into the state Hall of Fame, a person must have made outstanding contributions to the Boys & Girls Club, whether through club membership, board or volunteer service or other efforts that have significantly benefited one or more clubs.
Since 2018, the Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh has had five previous inductees.
The Hall of Fame Dinner took place Nov. 17 at the Oshkosh Marriott Waterfront Hotel & Convention Center, in conjunction with the Wisconsin State Conference.
