Chamber's Young Professionals 

Our own President Elect Angelica Niemann will join us March 17 as our speaker. She will represent the Young Professional Committee of the Mequon-Thiensville Chamber of Commerce. 

The YP Committee designs and hosts dynamic networking events that serve as a gateway into the Chamber and the local business community. Beyond traditional networking, the committee actively explores new ways to expand programming and provide long-term value for emerging leaders in our area.

  • What We Do: Our programming is built for the community, by the community. We host a diverse range of monthly events, including:
    • Professional Development: Speed networking and industry introductions.
    • Community Impact: Local volunteer projects and service days.
    • Social Connection: Cooking classes, family game nights, and casual mixers.
  • Commitment: The committee meets once per month for one hour. Whether you are looking to build your professional circle or give back to Mequon-Thiensville, the YP Committee is your starting point. Contact aniemann@spectruminvestor.com if you have questions about getting involved.
Aging Smart: Medicare Overview

For Melinda Caughill, Medicare is more than just a job, it’s a family tradition.

As the daughter a nationally-recognized Medicare expert and pioneer, Diane J. Omdahl, RN, MS, she basically grew up with Medicare being discussed nightly at the dinner table.

Today, as a Co-founder of 65 Incorporated and the revolutionary i65 Medicare guidance software, Melinda uses her expertise to provide today’s seniors, their families, and their professional advisors with unbiased, expert Medicare guidance.

With her extensive background in marketing in addition to Medicare, Melinda is skilled at taking the most confusing and complex aspects of Medicare and translating it into easy-to-understand visual concepts. In fact, she’s the designer behind the revolutionary “3 Parts and 2 Paths” redefinition of how Medicare works. According to many people, this unique interpretation was “the first time Medicare ever made sense.”

Melinda is also a high-energy and entertaining Medicare speaker, having presented to professional organization, like the AAII, CSA, and FPA, as well as for prominent companies, like Edward Jones, LPL, AIG and more. When given a choice on topic, Melinda most enjoys educating financial advisors on how to use Medicare as a very powerful marketing tool to grow their business while also better assisting clients.

Over the last decade, Melinda has also consulted with some of the nation’s foremost corporations on Medicare, like PBS and Macmillan Publishing.
