ACG Nebraska Breakfast Meeting
Thursday, May 24, 2012
7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. | Happy Hollow Country Club

Featured Presenter: Coach Tom Osborne | Athletic Director | University of Nebraska Lincoln

Hall of Fame football coach Tom Osborne has continued to leave a lasting impression on the history of Nebraska Athletics since returning to lead the Husker program as the school’s 13th athletic director on Oct. 16, 2007. Osborne, who led Nebraska to three national championships (1994, 1995, 1997) and 255 victories in his 25 years as the Huskers’ head football coach, has continued to use his impressive leadership skills to guide the NU athletic department as a whole over the past four seasons.

With the core values of integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty serving as guiding principles for Nebraska’s 23-sport program as a whole, Osborne has made historic decisions to help the University of Nebraska athletic programs for years to come.

In June of 2010, Osborne joined Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Big Ten Conference Commissioner Jim Delany to announce the Huskers would join the Big Ten beginning on July 1, 2011. Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten is expected to add University-wide academic opportunities, while providing financial stability for the athletic department for the future.

Before being asked by Chancellor Perlman to return to Nebraska as athletic director in 2007, Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district) from 2000 to 2006.

Osborne and his wife, Nancy, continue to pour their time and support into the TeamMates mentoring program, which they founded in 1991. TeamMates provides encouragement to school-aged youth to help them graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education.

Osborne’s leadership of the TeamMates program began while he was putting the final touches on one of the best coaching careers in college football history. The Hastings, Neb., native, who earned master’s and doctoral degrees in educational psychology from the University of Nebraska, was named NU’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season.

Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney, who also served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 1967 to 1993.

Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne, and four grandchildren.

Location: Happy Hollow Country Club

ACG Nebraska celebrates its first full year as a chapter this spring. As we approach two hundred members we have passed long-established chapters in much larger markets to place us in the middle tier of chapters around the world as measured by size. That rapid growth is a testament to the strong interest in corporate growth and M&A among local professionals.

To those eager to learn and share successful corporate growth practices, ACG/Nebraska is the knowledge and networking hub that brings significant value to members through relevant and meaningful information, resources and activities.

ACG/Nebraska unites the best in knowledgeable people, informative programs and in depth resources to provide the member with a meaningful educational, professional and social experience. Through our monthly breakfasts over the past year, we have had the pleasure to hear from leaders of area companies representing a wide range of industries and sizes. We will continue to supplement those popular meetings with other tracks that delve into subjects of interest to members through forums, workshops and other events.
