This past August marked 20 years since I began my journey with Live On Nebraska—a journey that has shaped not only my career, but my purpose. What began as a commitment to an organization with a mission I deeply believed in has grown into a lifelong dedication to honoring the gift of life through organ and tissue donation.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to serve in a variety of roles within the organization, each one giving me a greater appreciation for the incredible work we do and the extraordinary people who make it possible. In 2012, I was given the incredible opportunity to step into the role of President & CEO, and it has been the honor of a lifetime to lead an organization so mission centric.
Together, we’ve celebrated donor heroes, supported grieving families, expanded our outreach, and worked to ensure that every opportunity to save a life is realized. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside an exceptional team and dedicated partners who share a common belief: that donation is one of the most profound expression of humanity and hope.
As I reflect on the past two decades, I’m filled with immense gratitude for the lives that have been saved, for the families who have found meaning in their loss, and for the unwavering commitment of those who carry this mission forward every day. Leading Live On Nebraska has never just been a job, it has been a calling, and I remain as inspired by this work today as I was 20 years ago.
– Kyle Herber, President & CEO
