You will be hearing from all of these organizations at one time, in one place. They will be discussing comprehensive information on future plans and goals, as well as potential challenges.

I applaud the Grand Island Chamber’s Young Professionals program for organizing this event and for the commitment to understand local government and our education system,” said Cindy Johnson.
