Hello, my name is Amy N. Bloczynski and I would love the opportunity to serve another term on the Black River Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. I have lived and worked in the Black River Falls area for over 20 years and couldn’t be “Prouder” of our Community and how it has blossomed over that time. It makes my heart happy to help people in all aspects of their day to day lives whether it be through my volunteer work, helping raise money for a person in need, through my employer or simply being the shoulder to lean on. I’m currently the Treasurer of the Jackson County Dairy Promotion Committee, I help with Christkindl, assist at many car shows to help raise money for local charities, as well as a current Chamber Board member.

I thrive on being busy and what better way to stay busy than helping make the beautiful Black River Falls area an even stronger community to live, work and play in. I believe the culture that the Black River Area Chamber lives by, and I would be honored to be a continued part of it. I have been the V.P./Branch Manager of Waumandee State Bank for a little over 5 years and helping people is also something that Waumandee State Bank is passionate about as your local “Community” Bank.

I have been proud to call Black River Falls home for over 20 years. As a business owner, wife, and mother, I believe strong communities are built through connection, collaboration, and people who care. Owning Cookies & Cream Café in Melrose has given me the opportunity to see firsthand how small businesses can bring people together and make a positive impact in our communities. I enjoy spending time with my family and finding ways to give back to the community I’m proud to be part of. I would be honored to serve on the Chamber Board of Directors for 2027, continuing to support local businesses, encourage community involvement, and strengthen the partnership between Melrose and Black River Falls. I believe that by working together, we can create more opportunities for growth and shared success throughout our communities.

Since choosing Black River Falls as my home in January 2024, I have fallen in love with this community and its potential.

Professionally, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business and have worked in sales, account management, and corporate distribution since 2002. Locally, my family and I opened On The Go Weenie Co in June 2026. Investing in our neighbors has been at the core of what we do from day one, and we are proud to have already directed nearly $2,000 back into community initiatives.

My superpower is simple: people. I believe strong communities are built on attentive listening, collaborative problem-solving, and practical support for business owners large and small. I love Wisconsin, I love Black River Falls, and whenever there’s an opportunity to serve our town, count me in. I would be honored to earn your vote for the Chamber Board of Directors.

Hi, I’m Nancy Stevens, and I am excited to be running for re-election for the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

Jackson County has always been home to me. I grew up in Taylor, graduated from Blair-Taylor High School, and moved to the Black River Falls area after graduation. I have now called Black River Falls and Brockway home for more than 30 years. I love the close-knit feel of our area, the people who look out for one another, and the many locally owned businesses and organizations that make Jackson County such a special place to live and work.

Professionally, I recently began a new chapter as a Personal Lines Account Manager with TRICOR Insurance in Black River Falls. Prior to joining TRICOR, I spent nearly 20 years in the wireless industry, much of that time in leadership with Cell.Plus/UScellular. That experience gave me the opportunity to serve both individuals and local businesses, develop and lead teams, build lasting relationships, and become deeply involved in the Black River Falls business community.

Community involvement has always been important to me. I previously served on the Black River Falls Public Library Board and currently serve with the Friends of the Black River Falls Public Library as well as help with the local Alzheimer’s Walk. I am proud to represent the Friends through my Chamber involvement and currently serve as Vice President of the Chamber Board.

Serving on the Chamber Board has given me an even greater appreciation for the businesses, organizations, volunteers, and community leaders who work every day to make the Chamber successful. I am especially excited about the direction and momentum of the Chamber over the past year. New leadership has brought fresh ideas, energy, and perspective while continuing to build on the strong foundation established over many years. It has been exciting to be part of a board that is looking forward, strengthening connections, trying new things, and continually finding ways to better serve our members and community.

As both my career and my community involvement have evolved, one thing has remained constant: I truly enjoy connecting with people and finding ways to make a positive difference in the community I call home. I would be honored to continue serving the businesses and people of Jackson County and the surrounding area for another term on the Chamber Board. Thank you for your consideration!

As a lifelong resident of Jackson County, Wisconsin, I have dedicated both my personal and professional life to serving and strengthening our community. By trade, I am a Registered Nurse with a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University, alongside degrees in Human Resources/Business Administration and Marketing. My career spans diverse healthcare settings—including long-term care, hospice, home care, palliative care, and public health—and I currently serve as the Senior Manager for Jackson County Interfaith Volunteers, having previously coordinated our “Time for You” dementia respite group.

Beyond my professional work, I strive to inspire others to give back through active community leadership. Over the years, I have served Spirit Creek Lutheran Church in several roles, including secretary and congregation president, and I have contributed to the Black River Falls Alzheimer’s Walk committee for the past three years.

Additionally, as a member of the Black River Falls Lions Club for over 12 years, I have served as club secretary and zone officer, earning honors such as the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award, the Louis Gardipee Award, and the Lions International Leadership Award.

Bringing together my background in healthcare, business, and community service, I would feel deeply privileged to serve on the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

My name is Sara Brown, and I am seeking a term on the Black River Falls Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. My husband and I made Black River Falls our home in December 2022 to build a better life for our family. He is originally from Tomah, and together we are raising our two daughters here. We love being part of this welcoming community—the scenery is beautiful, there’s always something to do, and its location makes it easy to enjoy Eau Claire, La Crosse, and beyond.

Professionally, I bring a background in education, community programming, and event coordination. I currently serve as the Community Education Coordinator for the School District of Black River Falls, a position I began in March 2025 after working as the district’s registrar. Before moving to Black River Falls, I worked in both education and event management roles, including as a Parent Coordinator in Milwaukee Public Schools and as a Product Specialist for Chevy events across Wisconsin.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and pets and exploring all that Black River Falls has to offer. I am passionate about building connections and promoting the opportunities that make our community such a special place to live, work, and thrive. It would be an honor to serve on the Chamber Board and continue contributing to its success.
