Nohavec leads active roles in the community as a mentor to college seniors and a board member for the Construction & Design Career Academy at Benson High School in Omaha among other organizations. She is also a driving force behind American Legion Auxiliary’s Cornhusker Girls State, which teaches young women how to collaborate as civic leaders and policymakers.

“I was incredibly impressed with Kristi,” said CINCF Executive Director Treva Haugaard. “I believe her connection and commitment through the work she does with [Cornhusker] Girls State will help us keep focused on supporting incoming students.
