About us
Aksarben is a unified network of business and community leaders committed to preserving and expanding prosperity in our heartland communities through advancements in education, workforce development and civic projects born from effective private, public and philanthropic partnerships. Taking a look at Nebraska's workforce challenges by industry and by region, Aksarben has already launched the Nebraska Tech Collaborative and Northeast Nebraska Growing Together. The Nebraska Tech Collaborative (NTC), it's committees and business partners are taking a look at how technology is used and how it is innovating across the state with the goal of expanding educational opportunities for PK-12, upskilling an existing workforce, and attracting talent from other parts of the country. Growing Together is a workforce initiative focused on Northeast Nebraska. Aksarben is working with local leaders on downtown revitalization and co-op scholarships, connecting students with business opportunities in their senior year. Through agglomeration, Northeast Nebraska will grow and thrive with a robust community of young Nebraskans living and working in Norfolk. Groundwork and infrastructure for additional workforce initiatives is being created now. Follow Aksarben on social for up to date information.

- Throwback Thursday! Decades ago, we purchased the Douglas Street Bridge—the first road bridge across the Missouri River—and removed the tolls, transforming it into the Ak-Sar-Ben Bridge. This effort made travel easier and more accessible for countless people, symbolizing our commitment to breaking down barriers and fostering community connections. Though the bridge has since closed, its legacy of community progress endures. Today, we carry forward that same spirit through our community grants program, supporting local initiatives that drive innovation, growth, and opportunity across Nebraska. Our dedication to building a stronger, more connected community remains at the heart of everything we do. Learn more about our Community Grants here: https://lnkd.in/g6v3c-aP

When over 50 senior mentees receive TeamMates scholarships, we celebrate BIG! Check out this glimpse into our Scholarship Celebration Tailgate and special moment where we recognized our recipients and graduates on the field at halftime of the Nebraska game. #ReachingTheirFullPotential - We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Women's Ball Committee for their outstanding leadership and tireless dedication in bringing this year's Aksarben Ball to life. As our largest fundraising event, the Ball requires months of planning, coordination, and a keen eye for detail—and the Committee delivered on all fronts. It was a night to remember, not just because of the festivities, but because of the impact it will have on our community through the funds raised. We are deeply grateful for the time, energy, and passion the Committee invested to make this event such a success. Thank you for setting the bar high and creating an unforgettable evening for all who attended.
