Anyone can be a photographer - you don't have to have a fancy camera or tons of experience with taking photos. If you see something worth capturing - do it! Then send it in for consideration in the 2024 NBA Scenes of Nebraska Calendar. We are currently accepting photo submissions until March 1, 2023. The beauty of our Scenes of Nebraska Calendar is that the photos come from our bankers and their families. We'd like to showcase all that Nebraska has to offer - from rolling hills and monuments to country areas and cityscapes. Have a favorite spot in town? Or perhaps you've made a scenic trip to a state park? Both cities/towns and the surrounding countryside make Nebraska what it is. What does living in Nebraska mean to you? We invite you to show us through your photos. If you have questions about the calendars or the photo submission process, contact Laurie Johnson at the NBA at laurie.johnson@nebankers.org or 402-474-1555.

To better reflect the broad scope of the program, group health insurance products will be marketed as NBA Benefit Plans. The NBA Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association (VEBA) Board of Trustees approved the changes as part of the program's strategic planning process. The VEBA Board of Trustees is a group of 10 bankers who oversee the NBA Benefit Plans. NBA Benefit Plans staff are currently preparing renewal packets, which will be mailed by the end of the month. The changes for 2023 include new dental, vision, life and disability carriers. The VEBA Board of Trustees has selected Ameritas as the new dental and vision carrier. The Standard will be the carrier for life and disability, which will include new offerings for supplemental group plans for accident insurance, critical illness and hospital indemnity.
