Leadership Burt County Class Visits State Capitol

This year’s Leadership Burt County class spent Thursday, February 5^th in Lincoln learning about state government. They were able to observe the Legislature in session, have lunch with our State Senator Lydia Brasch, tour the State Capitol and hear from Governor Pete Ricketts.

This is the fifth year for Leadership Burt County, which is co-sponsored by Burt County Economic Development Corporation and UNL Extension. The purpose of the program is to train our local citizens in the latest leadership skills, and also to provide information about our local economy.
