On Wednesday, the Broken Bow Chamber of Commerce announced its new executive director as Deb Kennedy. Kennedy has been with the organization serving as the administrative assistant since October 31, 2017. From then she flourished in her position by adding numerous members, developed a new website that addressed a previous glitch, and created multiple efficiencies within the office.
Kennedy sits with years of corporate and retail experience in her resume from Adams Land & Cattle, LLC as a Finance Specialist where she handled all aspects of accounts payable and had a hand in budgeting and analysis. She also obtains part-time management skills from Twigs & Berries and the Rusty Hinge and customer service & support at Region III Behavioral Health Services/Health & Human Services.
Kennedy grew up in Broken Bow building a firm foundation of pride and enthusiasm for the community. I have a strong bond with this community. I am planted firmly in Broken Bow and I am excited about the future for this community – business and otherwise, says Kennedy. I continue to be amazed at the comradery and encouragement of the business community. I am thrilled by the ideas and brainstorming by business owners and employees looking to building a strong future.
