AUBURN — David Nealley will be the guest speaker for the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club’s next meeting Thursday, July 6, at The Village Inn restaurant, 165 High St.
Nealley was born in Bangor and graduated from the University of Southern Maine, with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1984. Upon graduation, he became a stock broker and spent eight years in the financial services industry.
Years later, in an effort to resurrect an old family business, Nealley spent another eight years as the general manger of Snow & Nealley Company, a manufacturer of axes and garden tools. In this position, he received a U.S. Chamber of Commerce Blue Chip Award for his turn-around of the business and was published in “Entrepreneur” and “Forbes” magazines for his niche marketing expertise.
Nealley also worked on a successful referendum initiative for Bangor Historic Track, resulting in one of the largest economic developments in Maine — Hollywood Casino. Due to his varied work experience, he has traveled extensively. He is currently serving his fourth term on the Bangor City Council and has worked with the state legislature and governor to establish Maine Seniors Day. As publisher of “MAINE SENIORS” magazine, Nealley has a refreshing outlook on the state’s senior population. Lunch is available for $14 at the restaurant. Reservations are not required.
