• Chamber Connectors

  •  

    Chamber Connectors provide an opportunity for individuals who are interested in professional development to expand their growth through networking, community involvement, training and partnership outreach. Chamber Connectors ensure that every business partner realizes the value of their Chamber investment by communicating information about the Chamber’s programs and events and the direct relationship with business growth.

  • To find out more about our Connectors, please email the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce at [email protected].

     

  • "Connectors has been a great way to get to learn about area businesses and organizations and getting to share in their special occasions like ribbon cuttings and Business After Hours events. I feel like I always had a few takeaways to share with others after attending these events. If you're looking to get to know members of our community a little better and the organizations they are associated with, there's no better way than through the Connector program."

    Michelle HurdMortage Division Manager of Pathway Bank

     
  • "I joined Connectors because I wanted to meet more people in the Grand Island business community and get more involved in the process of welcoming and congratulating businesses in Grand Island. I believe this presents an opportunity to meet many people in the Grand Island business community and offers a chance to represent the Chamber of Commerce in promoting our community."

    Tim Krupicka, Director, Workforce and Community Education, Wayne State College

     

  • "I have been able to meet people and connect with them on a more personal level. 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."
