Get to know the people of Lincoln
At Leadership Lincoln, we believe it's the people of Lincoln who make this city the great place we all enjoy. And, we want folks from around the country to know what makes Lincoln such a great place to live. So, we're interviewing them and sharing those interviews on these podcasts. Marilyn Moore and Randy Bretz host these interviews. They each thought they'd be in Lincoln for just a few years but loved the city so much they've made Lincoln their home for many years. Both are retired but still very active. Marilyn spent her career in education at Lincoln Public Schools and the Bryan College of Health Sciences. Randy spent time at the University of Nebraska, Nebraska Educational Telecommunications and Nelnet. Both are Leadership Lincoln alumni and love to meet and get to know people.
As you listen to these interviews, we ask just two things: First, share them with your friends near and far. Second, send along your suggestions of people you'd like us to interview.

There are many women in and around Lincoln in leadership positions because Alice Dittman helped forge the way years ago. She was not only the first woman president of a bank in both Lincoln and Omaha, but she was the first woman chair of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, of the Bryan Hospital Board, of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, and the Nebraska Bankers Association. And, the list goes on.

If you know Bennie Shobe, you’ll enjoy some details about who he is and how he came to be in Lincoln. If you’ve only heard of him but don’t know him, you’ll enjoy getting to know him better. And, should you be among a small group of people who don’t know Bennie, you’re about to meet someone who is as genuine as the day is long.
"I tell people, Nebraska is full of opportunities. There’s plenty to do and see. Every summer I take a trip out into the state and I enjoy visiting the various cities and towns."
