Investor Spotlight: Jeff and Heidi Gullickson

Vision Brookings is more than just an initiative; it’s a commitment to the future of our community. Jeff and Heidi Gullickson are proud to be part of doing just that. As lifelong Brookings residents and SDSU graduates, they have seen firsthand how collaboration and strategic investment shape the city’s success.

Heidi’s career at the Brookings Chamber of Commerce and now the Brookings Area United Way has deepened her understanding of what it takes to build a thriving community, while Jeff’s experience at Daktronics and Farmers Implement & Irrigation has reinforced the value of local business and economic growth.

Their love for Brookings stems from its unique spirit—where organizations work together, families feel safe, and opportunities abound.

“We loved the fact that we could let our kids ride their bikes to the pool during the summer by themselves and not have to worry. We love that there is ALWAYS something happening in Brookings” says Heidi, “Our community has amenities that most towns this size do not.”

By investing in Vision Brookings, the Gullicksons are helping ensure that Brookings continues to grow, innovate, and provide a high quality of life for generations to come.
