Bre’layshia “Bre” Alexander’s involvement in the Temple Chamber of Commerce began years ago and she has since become a familiar fixture at events in her bright, blue coat. She often volunteers at signature initiative events, and delivers moving invocations, her head bowed in reflection. Her presence exudes a calm elegance, while her quiet humor makes everyone around her feel at ease. Bre's approachability has made her an integral part of the Chamber and the community it serves.
Professionally, Bre serves as the Senior Physician Liaison for Baylor Scott and White Health Temple Region. In this role, she excels in targeted relationship marketing and business development, fostering connections between providers through school, community, and clinical partnerships. Bre's career is marked by numerous accolades and achievements. In 2019, she was recognized as one of the All-Star Athletic Trainers by the Texas Girls Coaches Association. Her journey began as a teacher and athletic trainer with Temple ISD, followed by her role as the Athletic Training Program Supervisor for the Baylor Scott & White Health Roney Bone and Joint Institute. Bre earned a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training (Cum Laude) from Texas State University and a Master of Education in Sports Administration from Concordia University. Further demonstrating her commitment to professional development, she completed the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) Leadership Development Certificate in 2020. Bre's commitment to service extends beyond her professional roles. She serves on several boards and committees, including the Wildcat Mentor Board, Un-Included Executive Board, Temple Education Foundation Board, NATA Career Advancement Committee, and as the SWATA Career Advancement Chair. Additionally, she holds the position of Vice President of the Central Texas Athletic Trainer’s Society. An alumna of the 2022 Leadership Temple Class, Bre exemplifies leadership and dedication in every aspect of her life. Bre's personal life is a testament to her ability to balance her professional and community commitments with her family life. She and her husband Ali, a teacher and coach at Academy ISD, recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary. They are the proud parents of a beautiful four-month-old daughter, Noa. Despite her busy schedule, Bre continues to dedicate time and energy to the Chamber and the Temple community, showing her unwavering dedication. Bre Alexander is a shining example of what it means to be a true leader and community pillar. Her contributions to the Temple Chamber of Commerce, her professional excellence, and her commitment to service and family make her an inspiration to all who know her. The Temple community is fortunate to have someone as dedicated and compassionate as Bre Alexander in its midst. On May 22, 2024, two devastating tornadoes tore through Bell County, leaving nearly 500 homes and businesses in ruins or severely damaged. As the sun rose the following morning, our community, though bruised and battered, showed its true resilience. The City of Temple declared a disaster, and in response, hundreds of dedicated individuals mobilized. They assessed the damage, prepared meals, cleared debris, and united under the banner of Temple Strong.
The Temple Chamber staff has been dedicated to assisting affected businesses and backing the City's recovery efforts. Our team was honored to help serve food alongside the Bell County Business Group at Tarver Elementary and humbled to deliver meals to firefighters at a dark and powerless station. The Chamber served as a location for donation drop-offs and lent a hand at the Temple Strong donation drive organized by one of our remarkable Chamber members, Bold Republic Brewing Company. Led by General Manager Matt Serna, Bold Republic gathered massive amounts of clothing, toiletries, housewares, and non-perishable food for those in need. Among our other extraordinary members, Shaffin Wegener of State Farm provided 1,500 meals over two consecutive days to residents without electricity. Haute Dog offered hundreds of free meals to those in need. Our roofing and restoration members worked around the clock, providing free tarping and water removal services, often with little to no sleep. Numerous other members, including Family Promise, 7 Mares, Feed My Sheep, Paradise Nails, Texas Roadhouse, United Way of Central Texas, Wings, Pizza ‘N Things, 3 Texans Winery, Bulldog Auto Detailing, Extraco Banks, KCEN Channel 6, Texell Credit Union, Vista Real Estate and countless others, stepped up to serve the community. On May 24, 2024, the Temple and Belton Chambers issued a joint statement, a unified call for support, urging members to contribute to The Tornado Relief Fund established by the United Way. The Temple Chamber is ready to support businesses in providing information regarding operating hours and recovery updates to the public. We encourage our members to contact us for any inquiries or assistance needed. We are actively monitoring resource updates and will continue to communicate this information to our membership. If you need help with recovery, reach out to The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at https://www.disasterassistance.gov/ or call 800-621-3362. FEMA plans to establish a disaster resource center at Tarver Elementary School in Temple. Small businesses looking for recovery support can find information from the Office of the Governor at https://gov.texas.gov/business/page/recover. We will rise from these ashes, stronger than ever, thanks to the boundless compassion and determination of those who live and work here. Together, we embody the spirit of Temple Strong. |
