Natalia Del Cid
Senior Operations Manager - Associated Staffing
"I became a Chamber Connector because I love meeting new people and helping others connect. Supporting and growing alongside such an inspiring group is incredibly rewarding. I believe in the power of community and collaboration, and it’s great being part of a group that works together to make things happen."
Hailey Dixon
Relationship Manager - Bruning Bank
"I decided to become a Chamber Connector to meet new people in our community and build stronger connections with the businesses here in Grand Island. What I enjoy most is getting to visit and support so many different businesses and creating meaningful relationships throughout the community."
Teshawna Sawyer
Associate Director of Willow Rising
"Many times, I would hear the names of individuals, and Connectors gave me the opportunity to put their face to the name, learn about their business and get to know them on a personal level. Your eyes will be opened to how amazing our community is, and you learn about all the hidden gems. You will learn what our community offers, grow professionally and personally, and truly become a member of the Grand Island community."
