LYONS, NEBRASKA – The Center for Rural Affairs has chosen Jeanne Schieffer, director, and Sandie Fischer, events planner and entrepreneur/membership developer, both of the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce, to receive its 2019 Latino Partner Award. Center staff will recognize Schieffer and Fischer at an awards ceremony on Friday, March 13, in York, Nebraska.
The Latino Partner Award is presented annually to an individual or organization that has demonstrated outstanding support and exceptional dedication to small business development in rural Nebraska, specifically to the Latino community.
Schieffer and Fischer have supported Latino businesses and encouraged them to participate in different community events, in addition to connecting Center staff with Latino businesses and community leaders in Columbus.
“Jeanne y Sandie han referido a varios clientes al Centro en el pasado y siempre están abiertos a trabajar con la comunidad latina”, dijo Veronica Spindola, especialista en préstamos latinos del Centro de Asuntos Rurales. “Cada vez que me dirijo a ellos y les pregunto algo, puedo estar seguro de que 'sí' será la respuesta”.
