Nebraska State Bar Foundation

A 35-member Board of Directors manages the corporate matters of the Bar Foundation. The geographical regions of the State of Nebraska are considered when directors are elected to ensure diverse representation. The Board is comprised of eighteen directors who are elected by the Foundation members, and an additional seven directors are selected by the Nebraska State Bar Association's House of Delegates. Following the Foundation Bylaws, Past Presidents of the Foundation are ex-officio voting members of the Board. Additionally, three directors serve as ex-officio members because of their positions in the Nebraska State Bar Association: the President, the President-elect, and the Young Lawyers Section President. The Bar Association's Executive Director also serves as a non-voting ex-officio member of the Board. All of the programs and activities of the Foundation are administered and implemented by the Foundation's Executive Director as determined by the Foundation's Board of Directors and its Executive Committee.
