Boise Metro Chamber

Chamber staff Sandy and Brandon traveled to Dallas for the annual conference. They had a great time and ran into some familiar faces.

We’re highlighting some of our wonderful BYP members so you can connect and grow your community. First up is Chelsia Neto, CDFI Coordinator at Connections Credit Union!

What brought you to Boise?
I am from Angola, specifically Luanda, which is in southern Africa. School led me to Boise, and I decided to stay because I enjoy the community here. Boise has become my second home.

What are your affiliations?
I am a Young Professional Board Member for Girls on the Run. I also serve on the board of directors for the southwest branch of the Idaho Credit Union League, BYP’s Professional Development Committee, and as the alumni representative chair for the College of Idaho’s Business Advisory Council in the business department.

What’s your favorite BYP event?
Lunch and Learn. These events provide crucial opportunities for young people to make relationships and engage in conversations about career progress and professional development.

What’s your biggest accomplishment?
In just three months, I learned English to complete an academic curriculum without support. After successfully graduating, this experience inspired me to found CD Master Center at 19 years old, a tutoring and mentorship center committed to student empowerment. My mission was to offer unique educational tools that promote student development and innovation. My experience as an entrepreneur was recognized here at the United States, when I presented CD Master Center at the Idaho Entrepreneur Challenge in 2022. I was selected as one of Idaho’s top 24 entrepreneurs making me the only black woman and an international student on the list.
