For over 40 years the Nebraska Diplomats have been the largest economic development organization in the State of Nebraska.  It is comprised of business leaders from across the State with one unified mission, growth of the Nebraska economy through support of the Nebraska Department of Economic Developments efforts to assist with expansion of existing business, attraction of new business to the State, and improvement in Nebraska’s business climate and competitiveness.

I am honored to serve as President of the Nebraska Diplomats for 2007-2008.  We are fortunate to have a dedicated and talented Board of Directors and a progressive engaged membership that works tirelessly on behalf of Nebraska.

Nebraska Diplomats are called upon to assist in generating and hosting new business prospects for Nebraska and making calls on existing businesses in our communities. In addition, the membership of the Nebraska Diplomats, through a number of events held throughout the year, benefit from interaction with other business leaders from across the State.

The Diplomats serve as an important link between the public and private sector, creating a partnership yielding great success as scene in the passage of the Nebraska Advantage Act. We are always looking for other Nebraska business leaders to help spread the message of Nebraska as a good place to live and do business. If you have an interest in becoming a Nebraska Diplomat, and working to help Nebraska grow and prosper, please contact me, a Board member, a Diplomat in your region or Lori Shaal at the Department of Economic Development. We will welcome your help.

Thank you for your participation in the Nebraska Diplomats.  Nebraska’s business leaders are making a difference for generations to come.  I look forward to a successful year for the Nebraska Diplomats.

Sincerely,

Tim D. White
President
