Citizens Independent Bank VP/Branch Manager Robbinsdale Office 763-302-3217

Favorite part of working with businesses – It gives me great joy to help businesses and organizations share their messages that will help them to become more impactful and successful in our community.  Each business and organization has a unique story to tell and by sharing that story with the community bonds are created that will last for years and serve to strengthen all involved.

Thea Bruley, Food Shelf Manager, joined the NEAR Food Shelf in 2021 with a broad background in Customer Service and business operations. Known for being an effective collaborator to develop creative and proactive solutions that exceed expectations. Since joining NEAR, she has been learning about the non-profit sector, specifically food insecurity and working towards aiding in the efforts to diminish it in our community. She is working to develop and implement strategies and programs to expand and enhance the shopping experience for our clients and meeting their needs. Also, working with our many multi-faceted volunteers to create and improve our processes. Prior to joining NEAR, Thea worked in Customer Service for the printing industry. Non-profit experience includes volunteering for Feed My Starving Children, Second Harvest Heartland, many groups within my church and serving on mission teams in the U.S. and in Liberia. Additionally, I am on the board for Enlighten Nimba, a non-profit with the mission to sustain and build educational programs and add community outreach to all people in Nimba County, Liberia. Positively impacting people, projects and outcomes.

As a new member to the board, I am excited to bring a local social services perspective to the chamber and local businesses. I look forward to work together and build relationships to improve the quality of life of the residents of the city of Robbinsdale.  PRISM has served Robbinsdale families in need for over 50 years and with the continued support of local business leaders, we will do so for another 50 years.

As the Robbinsdale City Manager, I look forward to continuing the relationship between the Chamber, its members, and the City. I consider my role to serve our City Council, City staff, and the community at-large (including the business community). I appreciate the leadership that makes up the Chamber and its board, and am excited to serve in this capacity.
