The Nebraska Agricultural Leadership Council (NALC), the governing board of the Nebraska LEAD Program, welcomed new members and officers as the organization’s new fiscal year began on July 1. While the individuals were elected during the NALC Annual Meeting on March 13, 2026, their terms officially began July 1.
Three individuals have been elected to serve three-year terms on the NALC Board of Directors:
- Andy Chvatal, Lincoln – Executive Director of the Nebraska Soybean Board
- Kristen Hassebrook, Lincoln – Partner with Mueller Robak, Schaefer, Hruza & Hassebrook
- Andy Jobman, Gothenburg – Farmer and graduate of Nebraska LEAD Class 35
In addition, Kerry Glandt, a graduate of Nebraska LEAD Class 14 and current president of the Nebraska LEAD Alumni Association, joined the board as the association’s representative.
The council also reelected Scot Blehm, Chris Roth and Matt Dolch to second three-year terms on the board.
The Nebraska LEAD Program and NALC also recognized three outgoing board members whose terms concluded June 30: Mary Eisenzimmer, Jessica Groskopf and Bobbie Kriz-Wickham. Their leadership and service have played an important role in advancing the mission of the Nebraska LEAD Program.
