  Stratatech was formed in 2000 after researchers in the UW-Madison lab of Lynn Allen-Hoffmann found human skin cells, from a foreskin discarded after circumcision, were immortal. The cells kept multiplying and did not die or develop viruses or tumors.
  
  Allen-Hoffmann, who grew up on a sheep farm in the central Illinois village of Thawville, said she thinks every day about the case that inspired her to work on a skin graft product — a Wisconsin farmer who had to go through months of painful skin grafts after a propane tank explosion left him with burns over more than 95 percent of his body.
  
  Allen-Hoffmann credits cooperation from the UW-Madison, the state of Wisconsin and the federal government for the company’s progress — from the discovery in her lab to getting a closet-sized office at University Research Park to the expanded building Stratatech now occupies. The company still has offices at the MGE Innovation Center, 510 Charmany Drive, as well.
  
  “There’s an African saying: If you want to go fast, go by yourself. If you want to go far, you go together,” Allen-Hoffmann said.

  New this Year! Each member may bring one guest who embodies the TEMPO mission.
  By virtue of being a member of TEMPO, there is no question that you have remarkable professional skills, as well as personal interests, that make a difference in our community. Now we’re asking you to share what you know:
  

  • This could mean a gift basket, an experience, a work of art, a weekend at your vacation home, or your time and professional expertise – you name it.
  • You could offer mentoring advice that reflects your professional expertise, be it corporate board service, marketing, executive recruiting, estate or financial planning.
  • Your donation could be to host an event that showcases your passions – sushi making or wine tasting, gardening or prairie restoration or the arts.
  • Through a TEMPO Shares donation, you could share your love of life through tennis lessons, a round of golf, lunch with one of your prominent connections, or a weekend rental of your vacation home.
  • You choose your muse. Then get ready to bid on one-of-a-kind services and experiences offered by the other fabulous women in our organization to benefit our future--  all while networking and enjoying a sumptuous buffet. 

  Complete & return the form by September 17, 2019, and share something of yourself with fellow TEMPO members. We want to feature you in our (not-so) silent auction program.

  We look forward to seeing you and your guest at this special silent auction benefiting our TEMPO Foundation. Be creative, share something of yourself.
