Chad Hayes, President
Term: 2019-2025

For over 22 years, the Town of Omro has been my home. Here, with my wife Karen and our son Jonah, we've built a life deeply rooted in community. From volunteering with River Valley Church, Omro Music Parent Association to supporting Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, we believe in giving back. Sharing my knowledge as an adjunct professor at Fox Valley Technical College allows me to contribute to the next generation of IT professionals.

My commitment to public service extends to the Algoma Sanitary District Board, where I've served beginning in 2006 and serving as President since 2019. Prior to that, I served on the Omro Sanitary District Board. This dedication to public service reflects my desire to represent the voices of the community I call home.

But my passion extends beyond titles. For over two decades, I've thrived in the dynamic world of IT. However, true leadership, I believe, extends beyond the walls of an office. It's about empowering teams, exceeding goals, and using your skills to deliver tangible benefits for the people you serve.

This philosophy has guided me throughout my career. This same approach is what I bring to the Algoma Sanitary District Board.

As a leader, I believe in fostering a collaborative and results-oriented environment. My technical expertise, honed over 25 years in IT at companies like Sadoff Iron and Metal, Navitus Health Solutions, Aurora Health Care, and Midwest Airlines, allows me to translate knowledge into action. Additionally, my experience as a previous small business owner, gives me a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities faced by local businesses.

I'm committed to ensuring the Algoma Sanitary District continues to provide efficient, cost effective, and reliable services for all residents.

I'm honored to serve as your President/Commissioner on the Sanitary District and welcome your input at any time. Let's continue building a strong and vibrant community together. You may reach me at chad.hayzer01@gmail.com.

My wife and I have lived in the Town of Algoma since 2005. We have two adult-aged children, our daughter, Cassandra, and our son, Kyle and his wife, Emily, along with two grandsons, Brayden and Harrison.

I worked for over 40 years in education, 27 years of which were with the Oshkosh Area School District and 10 years with the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. I retired back in 2010 as Principal of Oshkosh West High School, however, i have remained very active in the workforce assisting the Oshkosh Area School District in various administrative roles, including getting back in the classroom as a substitute teacher. Another job assignment that has kept me busy has been helping out in the Education Department at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Presently, I am serving in the role of a supervisor for graduate students who are seeking certification in Education Administration. 

My personnel and professional experiences go above and beyond that of an educational leader. With two children growing up, I spent a number of years helping out with their involvement in recreation and other youth activities. I also spent a number of years coaching our youth while employed as a teacher at Laconia High School in Rosendale. Locally, I served on a number of committees in the community while employed with the Oshkosh Area School District.

Professionally, I belong to a variety of national, state and local organizations. I also have a couple of hobbies to fill my daily routine. I restored an old tractor that was once used on our family farm and I enjoy taking it to weekend tractor shows around Wisconsin as well as other states. Other items that keep me busy are, of course, being involved with the raising of our two grandsons, doing some woodworking projects at home, as well as helping my wife with the outside landscaping projects that we may be pursuing, and traveling on my motorcycle.

I have served on the Algoma Sanitary District Board as a Commissioner since 2011. I will say that it has been a learning experience with more to learn as I continue to serve as a Commissioner. The Town of Algoma and the Town of Omro are growing communities and it has been a pleasure to serve the people who live in these two townships. The progress of these two townships has made great strides the last few years and I hope to be apart of this process as these two townships continue to move forward. The Algoma Sanitary District has long-range plans in place which I hope will allow these two communities to continue to offer a great place to live. I am definitely here to serve the residents of the Town of Algoma and the Town of Omro, and I can be contacted at any time. The best way to reach me is by email at: pcernohous@hotmail.com.

I am a long-time local resident, having been raised in Oshkosh, moving to the Town of Algoma in 1985. My current and past work experience and experience on boards and commissions are good background to help me serve as your commissioner.

I served as the Treasurer of the Town of Algoma 2013-2022. Through education and experience credits I was able to attain Certified Municipal Treasurer of Wisconsin status, which is an on-going program.

I am currently in my second term on the Winnebago County Board of Adjustment, which acts as the quasi-judicial branch of Planning & Zoning. I was on the initial GO-EDC board as representative for all towns in Winnebago County. Our task was to create the framework for the current Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Corporation. I was a past Town of Algoma Board Supervisor and a member of the Town’s Planning Commission.

The Algoma Sanitary District had an Advisory Council made up of members who represented the various boards and committees of the Town of Algoma plus one member at large. I was the Algoma Town Board Representative.

My background is in banking operations and as a controller for a regional ophthalmic group. I feel it is vital to the economic development of our communities to maintain a strong sanitary district providing water and sewer services.

Personally, I am married and have a grown son.

My husband and I recently purchased fat tire electric bikes that require you to pedal. We use the electronics only for a boost. They go through all terrains, even snow.

I am in the process of writing, illustrating and self-publishing a 12- book series of outdoor adventures for children featuring nature and family life. I have 9 completed.

I am a current member of chapter BA of the PEO sisterhood, a women’s philanthropic educational organization.
