Collins joins Civic Nebraska as Operations Director

Glynnis Collins has joined Civic Nebraska as Director of Operations. As Civic Nebraska writes, “over the years, Glynnis has built deep expertise in environmental policy and law, land use and open space conservation, natural resource management, and water resources. Before joining Civic Nebraska, she served as Center Director for Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center, where she helped connect people with Nebraska’s tallgrass prairie, wildlife, and natural history. She also previously served as executive director of Prairie Rivers Network and worked as an environmental scientist in California.

For Glynnis, joining Civic Nebraska is not a sharp turn away from that career. It is an extension of it.

After years of working in environmental protection, she began thinking more deeply about the systems that make long-term community progress possible. To her, protecting the places we love and strengthening democracy are deeply connected. That connection between stewardship and civic life is central to how Glynnis sees the work ahead.

Whether caring for a prairie, a river, an old Lincoln home, or the internal systems that help an organization serve communities across the state, Glynnis brings a thoughtful belief that what we inherit should be cared for, strengthened, and passed on better than we found it.”
