LYONS, NEBRASKA – The Center for Rural Affairs has chosen Tina Biteghe Bi Ndong, executive director of the West Point Chamber of Commerce, as the recipient of its 2019 Extra Mile Award. She will be recognized at an awards ceremony on Friday, March 13, in York, Nebraska.
El premio Extra Mile se otorga anualmente a una persona u organización que demuestre un apoyo sobresaliente al Centro y una dedicación excepcional al desarrollo de pequeñas empresas en la zona rural de Nebraska.
“I began working with Tina a little over a year ago, and she has helped us develop our network,” said Lori Schrader, loan specialist at the Center for Rural Affairs. “Tina has allowed me to hold monthly chamber hours at her location, and has promoted my hours to Chamber members.”
With Biteghe Bi Ndong’s support, a Coffee Tables forum was developed with Cuming and Burt counties. She encourages business owners to attend the event and invites Center staff to attend weekly Chamber business coffees for an opportunity to speak about the Center's services.
“Tina continues to reach out to me whenever she has a new person wanting to start their business,” Schrader said. “She has a true passion for growing rural Nebraska.”
