Nemaha County Leadership

In spite of rain and rivers rising, History and Tourism Day was a great success! This day always centers on the idea that a great place to live is a great place to visit.

The class explored Auburn’s historical tourism assets through a scavenger hunt and learned about recreational tourism in Peru and the region from the General Manager of the Nemaha Natural Resources District (NRD), Kyle Hauschild. They toured some of Brownville’s greatest arts, cultural & historical assets with guides Peggy Groff and Steve Woerth (shout out to the Brownville Fine Arts Association, Schoolhouse Gallery, Brownville Creative District, FlatWater Folk Art Museum, Brownville Education Center for Arts and Humanities, Meriwether Lewis Foundation, and so many other volunteer-driven organizations for their hard work making Brownville a must-see!)

The day ended with an example of “hidden gem” tourism…a lovely visit with Executive Director Debbie Bruggeman while exploring the grounds of beautiful Coryell Park. Nemaha County is a great place to live and a great place to visit!

We love it when NCL alumni are recognized for their leadership. It is well deserved Rebecca Bixby-Crosier NCL Class #9

Built by FAST. Powered by PEOPLE.
Meet Rebecca Crosier, our dedicated Machine Shop Team lead in Auburn!

Rebecca brings steady leadership, precision, and a deep commitment to quality to every project that moves through the machine shop. Her ability to guide her team, solve problems on the fly, and keep production running smoothly makes her an essential part of FAST’s success.

Outside of work, Rebecca is all about connection and the outdoors. She loves spending time with family and friends, tending to her yard and garden, and enjoying the peace that comes with being outside. When she’s not digging into a new project at home, you’ll likely find her camping, fishing, or relaxing with good music.

Rebecca’s mix of craftsmanship, leadership, and heart shines through in everything she does on the job and off. We’re proud to have her on the FAST team. 👏
