Nebraska 150 is a volunteer, not-for-profit organization responsible for the advance planning, strategic vision development and fundraising for the observance of the 150th year of statehood in 2017. Initial projects completed for the organization by the LA Group have been the introduction of a website (nebraska150.org), a comprehensive strategic vision development process and extensive fundraising. The organization is now ready to incorporate the support of a student intern from the university to help with various duties going forward and provide an opportunity for the student to grow from the experience. There is also a chance this involvement could ultimately lead to a role in the major initiative as momentum builds toward 2017.
