2023 Aksarben Ball Leadership Announced

New leadership for the 2023 Aksarben Ball will be helmed by two people with longtime Aksarben ties.
Kathryn Anderson has been named Chair of the Women’s Ball Committee. She is a former Queen of Aksarben and wants to focus on recognizing families across the state for their contributions and continuing to find opportunities for our young talent to stay in Nebraska. She will be joined in the work by Aksarben Ball Committee Chair, Nate Dodge. Dodge has been actively involved in the Aksarben Foundation since 1999 and is looking forward to raising awareness and strengthening ties with families across the heartland.
They will be joined by Jamie Walker, who will serve as Vice Chair of the Aksarben Ball Committee and Sharlon Rodgers who becomes Advisor to the WBC.
Next year’s ball will be held on October 28, 2023 at the CHI Health Center. The Aksarben Ball raises dollars to fund scholarships for students who are attending post-secondary school in Nebraska, as well as supports workforce development and community grants.
