Board of Trustees

History Nebraska is an independent Nebraska state agency that is directly governed by a fifteen-member board of trustees.

History Nebraska is also a membership organization. Members elect twelve trustees, four from each of the state's three congressional districts, to staggered three-year terms. Three trustees are appointed by the Governor, one from each congressional district. Nominations are made by a board-appointed nominating committee.
