Triumph #2: On a completely different note, we should also celebrate the fact that 73 Nebraskans were willing to place their names on the May primary ballot for a chance to serve in the Nebraska Legislature. These individuals are vying for races across 25 districts. The NBA Government Relations team has gotten to know many of these candidates personally, and we are extremely impressed by their knowledge, skills, commitment and enthusiasm! Triumph #3: The NBA is cheering for long-time NBA General Counsel and lobbyist Bob Hallstrom who has placed his name on the ballot in pursuit of the District 1 seat in the Nebraska Legislature. Bob has advocated on banking and business issues for more than four decades. His background and experience would bring substantial value to the Unicameral. The NBA fully supports Bob’s candidacy and will do what we can to support his campaign, knowing that he will no longer be able to lobby on behalf of the NBA and the banking industry if he is elected. Thanks, Bob, for your willingness to further serve our fellow Nebraskans as an elected official! Triumph #4: On May 8-10, the NBA hosted the 2024 NBA Annual Convention at the Embassy Suites in La Vista. The event provided an opportunity for our industry to gather in person, reconnect with old friends, celebrate success and gain new knowledge from world-class speakers. Until next time, let’s take time for ourselves, support our family, friends and coworkers and celebrate successes, large and small.
