Yesterday evening, friends, family, colleagues, and members of the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation gathered to celebrate our wonderful Business Manager, Michelle Sullivan, on her retirement.

Michelle has brought so much to the Foundation during her time with us—professionalism, dedication, kindness, humor, and a genuine commitment to our work. She has been someone we could count on every day, and her contributions have made a lasting difference to our organization.

While we are certainly going to miss having Michelle in the office, we are so happy for her as she begins this next chapter. She has more than earned the opportunity to enjoy some well-deserved time for herself, her family, and whatever adventures come next!

Thank you, Michelle, for everything you have done for the NSHSF and for all of us. Congratulations on your retirement! ❤️
