We are pleased to welcome two new Community Planners to the Northeast Nebraska Economic Development District as of September 2024 — Zach Fisher and Sandra Goode.
Zach is a 2004 graduate of Northeast Community College with an Associates of Applied Science degree in Business Marketing and Management, and a 2016 graduate of Columbia Southern University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. Prior to joining NENEDD, Zach was the Membership Development Director with the Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce where he was able to use his talents to grow their membership to an all-time high. He is a life-long resident of Norfolk and is excited to see all the economic growth happening in the area. Zach will obtain his CDBG certification in October of 2024.
Zach states, “I’m proud to have the opportunity to use my skills to help our local communities grow. Being able to point to a community ten years from now and say, “I was a part of helping create this”, is exciting for me.”
Prior to joining NENEDD, Sandra retired from the Nebraska State Patrol after 32 years of service in Northeast Nebraska as a certified Law Enforcement Officer. Sandra was a Drug Investigator for 15 years working in various Task Forces with exposure to grant administration and reporting and as a Liquor Investigator for 9 years, working closely with the Grants Division on administration, grant writing and reporting. Sandra will obtain her CDBG certification in October 2024.

Welcome to the team Zach and Sandra!
