S.C. Swiderski is excited to share that Jacqui McElroy has been named a finalist for the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce 2022 ATHENA Leadership Award. The ATHENA Leadership Award Program recognizes and celebrates individuals who support, honor, and develop current and emerging women leaders.  

Jacqui joined the company in 2016 as Marketing Manager and had progressively increased her responsibilities to include real estate and development. She was promoted to Business Development Manager in 2019. “Jacqui has been a key part of our success with her endless drive for process improvements and vision for the future of the company,” said Nathanael Popp, COO of S.C. Swiderski. “I look forward to reaching new levels of success with her increased involvement in company planning,” he explained.   

Jacqui’s current role of Director of Business Development allows her to drive the company’s significant growth and new initiatives. She is responsible for identifying and implementing strategies and processes to support these expansions. She manages the research, marketing, real estate and development departments. In the last few years, the company has added two divisions of the company – SCS Real Estate and S.C. Swiderski Homes – and has expanded design capabilities to grow their building portfolio.  

The company has officially broke ground on its largest project to date, SCS Eau Claire, as well as a record number of construction projects this year. Jacqui plays a key role in the company’s success and is excited to reach new heights as the company continues to grow.  

“Working in a growing company allows me daily opportunities to develop our next leaders. I work with many talented women, and it is rewarding to see them get promoted and expand their roles,” said Jacqui. She continued, “I am honored to be recognized with the other incredible women for this award and am proud of the work the finalists are doing to elevate women in leadership.”
