Board of Directors
NHC board members are selected statewide from nominees who show a strong interest in the humanities and the cultural life of Nebraska, with special emphasis on community leaders from the state’s diverse geographic, occupational and ethnic constituencies. The council seeks a balance between involvement in the humanities and other professional, business or community pursuits.
Council members are expected to attend three board meetings a year, serve on one or more subcommittees, assist in private fundraising, make a financial contribution to the council, promote public awareness of the NHC and its objectives and attend and evaluate programs funded by the council.
Among the programs that the council supports are the Great Plains Chautauqua, the Humanities Resource Center and Speakers Bureau, “Humanities Desk” programming on Nebraska Public Radio, Capitol Forum on America’s Future and the Governor’s Lecture in the Humanities.
The board meets the third Friday of September, the third Saturday of January, and the second Saturday of April, with the exception of Easter weekends when the spring board meeting is held the third Saturday of April.
