Page 3 NUCA of Nebraska 2015 Annual Conference Speakers TRENT NOWKA Nowka & Edwards Speakers Trent Nowka has worked in government relations since 1978. While in college, he worked for Senator Dick Marvel who was Speaker of the Legislature. Upon graduation from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Trent became a legislative aide for Congresswoman Virginia Smith, focusing on agricultural and educational issues. After earning his degree from UNL in 1984, Trent became the Director of Government Affairs for the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation. He was responsible for coordinating federal and state legislative policies as well as establishing and directing the organization’s political action committee. In 1993, Trent accepted an offer to become Legislative Counsel for Governor Ben Nelson. In this position, he was the Governor’s lobbyist to the Nebraska Unicameral and directed the Governor’s legislative and policy agendas. He was also the Governor’s liaison to state agency directors and state constitutional officers. Trent went into partnership with Bruce Cutshall in 1998. In this position, he has helped represent a wide diversity of clients before the Nebraska Legislature. He has also been retained as a consultant to assist with legislative elections and statewide ballot issues. Why Your Involvement in State Advocacy Impacts Your Business Trent Nowka from Nowka & Edwards (NUCA of Nebraska’s lobbying firm) will share the history of how the Unicameral (Nebraska legislature) was formed. He will discuss how a bill becomes a law, will talk about why it is important to be aware and participate in advocacy and building relationships with lawmakers, and will explain how that impacts your business and the utility construction industry. You’ll leave this session with a better understanding about the legislative process and have information to help prepare for your participation in NUCA of Nebraska’s Legislative Day on February 26, 2015. DAN KUESTER Staying Competitive in a Changing World If you have a desire to be a leader in your industry, it is essential that you know how to drive change and build teams to stay ahead of the competition. This session will provide you with the tools to prepare you and your team for the emotional roller coaster that comes with the many changes you will experience. Why you do what you do will seldom change, but how you do your business will always change. Stay ahead of the curve by properly preparing your most important asset – your employees.

NUCA of Nebraska 2015 Annual Conference Speakers Johnny has been honored as: • The Most Valuable Player in the history of the Big 8 Conference • Sports Illustrated’s “Husker Player of the Century” • College Football Hall of Fame inductee in 2000 • 1973 first-round draft choice of the San Diego Chargers • 1973 Rookie of the Year while playing for the Montreal Allouettes of the Canadian Football League • All Pro 1974-1976 • 1975 Grey Cup Champions (Canadian Football’s Superbowl) • Author of Era of Greatness, Coach Bob Devaney’s Final Four Seasons • Founder of the Johnny Rodgers Youth Foundation which annually presents the “Johnny The Jet Rodgers National College Football Return Specialist Award” sponsored by TD Ameritrade. Each year the award goes to the most outstanding college kickoff or punt returner in the nation. “Never Fair Catch! What It Means To Be Fearless In Your Life” Using actual film footage and relevant personal stories on and off the football field, Johnny Rodgers shows his audiences that it is not how fast you get there, but that timing is everything, and it’s that you get there that counts. He says, “Don’t out-think yourself….sometimes it’s not about thinking it’s about following your inner self and just reacting to situations as they come. You have to be in sync with your teammates, because everybody has got to get a block”, says Rodgers. Rodgers reveals 11 competitors such as fear, ego, jealousy, laziness, etc. that must be blocked on every play. Audiences will quickly recognize the real challenges standing between them and their goal line. Speakers Keynote Speaker Johnny Rodgers Born with asthma in 1951 and diagnosed with tuberculosis at the age of five, Johnny Rodgers had a rough start in life to say the least! Johnny knows first-hand what it’s like to be vulnerable and feel helpless. But Johnny also knows what it feels like to work with others, both on and off the field, to achieve your wildest dreams! Johnny believes that “Good performance is about participating at a high level in whatever you desire to achieve. High performance is about taking your game to the highest level you think possible, and then deciding to take it to even another level! We’re talking about taking it “Over The Top”! This presentation is informative and entertaining as Rodgers easily builds rapport with audiences. Knowledge of the game of football is not a prerequisite. Non-sports fans will gain equal lessons in the areas of risk reduction, ways to increase their odds, and new rules of engagement for building better alliances with others. In this presentation, you will learn: • 7 steps you can apply to your career today that will change your results and your life. • Why you should memorize the definition of F.O.C.U.S. • The single most important element in improving your results. • 11 defenders that stand in your way. • How to create “Your Playbook for Success.” Have your picture taken with Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers during cocktail reception and you can take it home autographed by Johnny.
