On February 13th, the Nebraska Legislature voted to confirm Brian Christensen’s nomination by Governor Jim Pillen to the Nebraska Investment Council (NIC). Brian is the President/CEO of OneNebraska FCU in Columbus and has served in this capacity for twenty-five years and has forty-four years of experience in banking and finance. “Congratulations to Brian on his confirmation to the Nebraska Investment Council. He will be a dedicated public servant looking out for the best interest of all Nebraskans,” said Scott Sullivan, League President/CEO.
The NIC is an independent state agency with a seven-member governing body including five private citizens that are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Nebraska Legislature. The NIC manages $40 billion across thirty-two investment programs including pension plans, retirement plans, public endowments, Operating Investment Pool, state trusts, college savings plans, and the Nebraska Enable Plan. The NIC’s mission, in part, is to “prudently manage the funds entrusted to us by the people of the State of Nebraska”.
