Many life choices are assists our donors with their decision to change lives forever. difficult, and many can be life-changing. This past year we have experienced significant “ups” and “downs,” not only in the In 1967 I started my banking career after serving in the U.S. Air Force for four years. I stock market, but also in our ability to support the students and communities we serve accepted every opportunity provided to me for job growth and banker education. I was throughout the central Nebraska area. We have experienced great success in reaching very involved in the Nebraska Bankers Association and also very involved in the NBA large numbers of students seeking to improve their lives through education, or in their Schools of Banking, including serving on the board, as the director of banking schools, current jobs through short-term training. While a significant challenge, the abrupt shift in and serving as an instructor.

I decided I wanted to take on the challenge; Students were resilient in their ability to adapt to the changes and to keep learning. Faculty were able to continue to teach however, I would have to MAKE A CHOICE! I could not continue my involvement with the Nebraska Bankers Association and assess information understanding and skill competencies that graduates need to advance in their chosen career and Schools of Banking, and at the same time be a quality board member for the college. I had to CHOOSE! My focus or to transfer to a four-year college.

Was I willing to take the RISK? I was comfortable in my banking career, but I knew I had the flexible and continuous operations. The Foundation continued to provide opportunities for donors to make significant knowledge and commitment to make this change, of putting a strong effort into serving on the college board. contributions toward capital campaigns and scholarship opportunities for our students. A very big reason for my decision to join the Board of Governors was my desire…TO CHANGE A LIFE FOREVER! Dr. The pandemic had a significant impact on students and their families as many struggled to continue working, to absorb Preusser and I spent hours discussing the reason for and the value of Central Community College. I believed that I could additional costs of remote education, and to support family needs with K-12 school closings.

This collaborative effort made a difference, and a sign of that Over the years that have followed, the Board of Governors and the high quality of instructors and staff of CCC truly have impact was the approximately 1,100 degree and diploma graduates from across our area. changed lives. What a thrill for me to see lives changed. What a thrill for me to see many people Make the Choice, Take the Chance, and change their own lives. Students have spoken at Board of Governors board meetings, to share with us As with past graduates, the members of the class of 2020 will likely go on to become successful teachers, nurses, about their lives, their commitment to change, AND, to tell us of the goals they had set for themselves. advanced manufacturing technicians, entrepreneurs, medical professionals, paramedics, childcare providers, police officers and agriculturalists - those career holders who are recognized as “front-line heroes.”As in past years, I am In 1990, the Central Community College Foundation was born. As a member of the Board of Governors, I was able to confident that a rebounding central Nebraska economy will provide opportunities for over 90% of our graduates to be a part of CCCF. At that point, a whole new light shone brightly - our Foundation could raise endowed money to assist continue to live, work, and attend college in Nebraska. students with scholarships. Our Foundation then and now has a very clear motivation and focus to CHANGE LIVES FOREVER. In closing, we are saddened by the examples of racism in our nation and world, but we welcome the opportunity to participate in courageous discussions and meaningful action to create an environment that promotes equality and success I cannot tell you today how many lives we have helped change because of our student scholarships, but it has been many. for all those living and working in central Nebraska. I know our CCC Foundation helps students to Make a Choice, and gives them the courage to Take a Chance. We strongly believe, in fact we know, that our Foundation does help to Change a Life Forever. I know without a doubt that we (our I encourage all donors to continue to make the choice to take a chance to change lives forever.

Central Community College’s Entrepreneurship Centers (E-Ship Centers) offer a variety of services to small business owners and potential owners throughout the 25-county area served by CCC. In 1990, Central Community College Foundation received specific donations, micro loan funds, and grants, to establish the Small Business Institute (SBI) to encourage the formation of new small businesses and to assist existing small businesses with growth opportunities. In 2020, the Small Business Institute was rebranded as the Entrepreneurship Center. Small businesses, which represent a high percentage of all employers, are critical to the ongoing growth of our community and country. The E-Ship Centers are an integral part of the CCC Foundation and CCC. The Centers are under the direction of a board of directors and are staffed by part-time directors. Services offered include:

• Counseling services designed to address today’s business opportunities and challenges • A place (incubator space) to start a new business at affordable rents • Financial assistance to aid in starting a new business and/or continuing an existing business in the form of loans • Workshops • Entrepreneurship training

Normally, there is no charge for counseling/coaching services. In addition, entrepreneurs who require financial help with Warren & Velda Wilson start-up costs or cash infusion for growth may apply for a low-interest loan. The Entrepreneurship Centers partner with several local, state and federal development groups and organizations to provide services.
