Nebraska is my home. I grew up in Cozad, went to Kearney State College (before it was the University of Nebraska at Kearney), and then settled in Grant in the southwestern part of the state. I raised my three boys there, my career is there, and my husband farms there.
I heard of the Center for Rural Affairs a long time ago through my work as executive director of Southwest Nebraska Community Betterment Corporation. When Brian Depew and Dennis Demmel contacted me about joining the Advisory Committee, I thought learning more about the Center and what they do would be an asset to my nonprofit housing organization. I have since referred many clients to the Center to check out their programs and loan options.
Hearing about the Center’s programs and new projects has been a highlight during my time on the committee. I love getting updates about the businesses they spotlight and who they’ve helped with loans or other assistance.
Amy is a member of the Center's Advisory Committee.
