Nebraska's Governor
Dave Heineman

"Nebraskans are known for giving of themselves and that quality is part of what makes our state such a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family." Governor Dave Heineman, January 2005

The Governor's Points of Light Awards are presented quarterly by the Governor at a special ceremony at the State Capitol in recognition of volunteers who give their time, talent and energy to help Nebraskans build stronger communities. The awards are sponsored in part by Woodmen of the World.
