Nebraska Chamber’s Leadership Nebraska Announces New Class Members

5/21/2020

 
LINCOLN – The Nebraska Chamber of Commerce & Industry has announced the members of its new Leadership Nebraska class.  This year’s class is the thirteenth in the program’s history.

Leadership Nebraska was founded in 2006 to identify current and emerging leaders throughout the state, enhance their leadership skills and deepen their knowledge of the challenges and opportunities facing Nebraska.
Participants have been selected from all across the state and possess varied backgrounds and diverse talents.  All candidates have demonstrated an abiding interest in Nebraska and its future.

The program consists of six sessions covering a broad range of key Nebraska issues including economic development, health care, education, agriculture, government and policy development.  Due to restrictions associated with Covid-19, the start date for Class XIII has been delayed, with orientation beginning in September and sessions concluding in April, 2021. 

Bryan Slone, president of the Nebraska Chamber, said:  “Nebraska faces complex challenges in this new economy.  Now, more than ever, we need well-informed, connected leaders who are ready to serve their fellow Nebraskans.”
