Humanities Nebraska (HN) has announced that the deadline for nominations to its Council board has been extended until October 27. The public is invited to nominate Nebraskans who are committed to the importance of the humanities in helping all people explore what connects us and makes us human.
Board members are selected statewide from those who show a passion for the humanities and the cultural life of Nebraska. HN makes every effort to find community members who reflect the geographic, occupational, and ethnic diversity of Nebraska. The nominations committee also seeks those who have balance between involvement in the humanities and other professional, business or community pursuits.
Council member responsibilities include: attending three board meetings in person a year,
serving on committees that meet by video conference, making an annual financial contribution to HN of any amount, promoting public awareness of HN and its objectives, and attending and evaluating programs funded by Humanities Nebraska. Self-nominations are accepted when submitted with a personal reference.
Nominations for the Council board must be postmarked, emailed or submitted online by
October 27. Find nomination forms and a complete list of basic board responsibilities on the HN website at humanitiesnebraska.org/about-us.
