Wisconsin Chinese Chamber of Commerce

10/17/2026

🎉 Welcome to WCCC, Confluence Graphics!

Would you buy a business in the middle of a global pandemic?

In 2020, Courtney Skinkis did exactly that.

She took ownership of Milwaukee-based Confluence Graphics, Inc., believing in its potential even during one of the most uncertain times for small businesses.

But she didn't build its next chapter alone.

With her husband Brad's printing expertise and the dedication of an incredible team, Courtney has helped create something special: a business that doesn't just print materials—it helps other businesses succeed.

And Wisconsin has taken notice! 🏆

⭐ 2025 SBA Wisconsin Emerging Small Business of the Year

⭐ 2024 Wisconsin LGBT Chamber Allied Business of the Year

⭐ 2024 WEDC MARKETPLACE Governor's Outstanding Business Award Finalist

Yet behind these achievements is something even more meaningful: people who genuinely care about the success of others.

Their philosophy says it all:

❤️ Good vibes. Quality print. Powered by good humans.

When Courtney joined the Wisconsin Chinese Chamber of Commerce (WCCC), we asked what she hoped to gain.

Her answer?

“Community. Connection. Potential business.”

Three simple goals that capture exactly what WCCC is working to build.

Because strong business communities aren't built by organizations alone. They're built by people helping people succeed.

👏 Please join us in welcoming Courtney, Brad, and the entire Confluence Graphics team to the WCCC community!

We're excited about the connections, collaborations, and opportunities ahead!

WCCC Member Spotlight: William Xiong

Leadership is not always standing at the front of the room. Sometimes it is standing at the back of a truck, unloading food for families who need it.

That is the kind of leadership William Xiong, Executive Director of the Shee Yee Community of Milwaukee, brings to his community every day.

From food distribution and interpretation to youth mentorship and cultural preservation, William’s work is hands-on and deeply personal.

Each month, Shee Yee Community helps distribute more than 25,000 pounds of food to local families — while also helping people navigate resources, language barriers, and everyday challenges.

For William, leadership is simple: Show up. Serve. Keep showing up.

We’re proud to feature William and the Shee Yee Community of Milwaukee in this WCCC Member Spotlight.
