Together We Rise... All the Way to the Treetops!

Our board recently gathered for our annual retreat—a day dedicated to dreaming big, making important decisions, and planning how we'll create an even better experience for our members in the remainder of the year. After a full day of collaborative strategizing,we put our theme into action with an afternoon at TreeRush Adventure.

From cheering each other on to tackling new challenges high in the trees, it was the perfect reminder that we accomplish more when we support one another. Every conversation, every idea, and every climb was focused on one thing: helping our chapter and each other continue to grow stronger.

Together, we rise.

Several ATD Nebraska chapter leaders recently attended the ATD Chapter Leaders Conference (ALC) in Los Angeles, California, on May 15-16, 2026. 

We are especially proud that our own Kristina Pohlman served on the event's Program Advisory Committee (ALC PAC), helping shape the conference experience for chapter leaders nationwide.

ATD Nebraska was also well represented among the conference presenters:

  • Gina Epperson – From Volunteer Burnout to Board Impact: Systems and Automation That Helped Our Chapter Achieve 170% Growth
  • Kathy Headley – No Finance Degree Required: Financial Literacy for Board Members
  • Sunni Wiltse & Stephanie Blakemore – The 3-D Framework: Controllable Actions That Expand Your Chapter's Reach
  • Former Past President Kristi Stewart – No Crystal Ball Needed: Turning Chapter Metrics into Strategic Growth & Engagement

Throughout the conference, our leaders actively shared ATD Nebraska's successes while learning from the experiences and innovations of chapters from across the United States. 

2026 Board Slate and Bylaws Approved!

We’re excited to share that our members have unanimously approved the 2026 slate of executive board members and updates to our chapter bylaws.

As we look ahead to another great year, we extend our gratitude to those completing their service and offer a warm welcome to our incoming leaders. Visit our Board page to learn more about our 2026 board members.

Thank you to our members for your participation, engagement, and support in shaping the future of our chapter!
