📢 Please help us to Welcome Alexandra Keller! We are happy to announce that Alexandra is going to support our organization going forward. She will focus on supporting our events, our current and future members, the GABC MI Board as well as contributing to the mission of the organization for the benefit of our members. You might have already met her during one of the more recent events and we encourage you to meet her in person at an upcoming event. Here is a short bio in her own words: ✔ My name is Alexandra Keller, I am 39 years old born in Bonn, where I lived until the end of 2023. From now on I will support the GABC Michigan as a “Support Service Professional”. In Germany I worked as a customer advisor at the Sparkasse KoelnBonn for about 11 years and also supported my boss in all organizational matters regarding the branch. From 2020 until our move to Novi, I worked for a publishing house in Bonn in the accounting department. My passion is motorsport and my husband and I have actively pursued this hobby for several years. He behind the wheel, I behind the scenes in sponsor and team support, but also on the pit wall, on the radio and in timekeeping. Since we traveled the US over the last 12 years, we did not want to miss the chance to live here for a longer time, to experience the country in everyday life and not just through a tourist’s eye. At the end of December we packed up our tents in Germany, moved to Michigan and have not regretted it for a moment. I look forward to contributing my knowledge and experience to the GABC of Michigan.
