Nex-Tech CES Engages with State Legislators in Hays
It was useful to listen to and engage with Rep. Barb Wasinger (Dist. 111), Rep. Ken Rahjes (Dist. 110), and Senator Rick Bilinger (Dist. 40).
I think trust is a key part of effective public engagement. Trust with our legislators is built consciously by meeting in person, exchanging pleasantries, learning about what they are up to, and nurturing those relationships. The legislature is busy at this time of the year, and we appreciate them coming to Hays to provide stakeholders with an update. Nex-Tech will keep advocating for the communities we serve.

Community Engagement Specialist
I'm Friday Otuya /Oh-Too-Yah/. I love sharing development resources, working on initiatives that change lives, and building bridges that lead to prosperity.
Specifically, I originate, underwrite, and deploy capital to small businesses that typically don't fit bank credit criteria. These businesses create jobs and expand economic opportunity in Nex-Tech's service area. I also support Nex-Tech's community and legislative strategy toward making life better through technology.
Before this, I worked in broadcast journalism and corporate communications, and did development finance work across Africa and the U.S.
If you are curious how Nex-Tech can partner with you through loans, grants, donations, or another kind of capital investment, I'd love to chat.
I live with my wife and two lads in Hays, KS.
