Join us for our September RISE + Connect, hosted by Arbor Day Foundation!

Plant, Nurture, Celebrate.

The Arbor Day Foundation was founded with a simple mission: we inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. We believe growth works the same way for people. Careers are planted, talents are nurtured, and accomplishments deserve celebration. We hope you join us for this event to hear real stories of real women in an organization that helped them grow.

From Students to Leaders: Lessons That Help Shape Women’s Careers

What if the most important lesson for your career is that learning never stops?

This event will be a blend of networking and conversation focused on how continuous learning shapes careers, opens doors and creates new opportunities throughout every stage of professional life.

Featuring women with unique connections to Nelnet and diverse career experiences, this robust panel discussion highlights perspectives from every stage of a professional journey, from early-career growth and mid-career development to executive and board-level leadership. Through candid stories and practical insights, panelists will share how learning, mentorship, curiosity and adaptability have influenced their careers, and what they're still learning today.

Whether you're launching your career, growing a business, leading a team, navigating a career transition, or exploring what's next, you'll gain perspectives that can help shape your own professional journey and learning path.

Come connect with women business leaders from across Lincoln, expand your network, and leave with ideas and inspiration you can apply to your own career growth.

Thanks to Nelnet, this event is free to attend.
