Nebraska Farm Bureau Official to Receive AgRelations Award
Published Thursday, September 04, 2008 at 05:06 AM
Doug Gibson, chief administrator of the farm bureau, will receive the award at a dinner in Grand Island Sept. 10, in conjunction with Husker Harvest Days.
Gibson has headed the farm bureau staff since 1981; previously, he was with the Wyoming Farm Bureau. Known for his quiet leadership and skills in finance and long-range planning, Gibson played key roles in founding and obtaining nonprofit status for the Nebraska Agricultural Legal Foundation, the Nebraska Policy Institute and the Nebraska Foundation for Agricultural Awareness, which sponsors the Agriculture in the Classroom program.
Gibson is a director of the Nebraska Vocational Agriculture Foundation and the NEBRASKAland Foundation, past president of the Nebraska 4-H Foundation Executive Council and past chair of the Nebraska Agricultural Leadership Council, sponsor of the LEAD program. He's also a member of Nebraska Ag Builders.
Tickets for the Sept. 10 dinner cost $10 and are available by calling (402) 472-2821.
The AgRelations Award was established in 1980 to recognize those who have done the most to advance the objectives of the Nebraska AgRelations Council, a statewide, non-profit, non-partisan organization. The council's objectives focus on telling the story of Nebraska agriculture and promoting a better understanding by both agriculturalists and non-agriculturalists of its achievements as well as its challenges.
