2026-2027 NEBRASKA GRAND BETHEL OFFICER & REPRESENTATIVE REGISTRATION INFORMATION

 

Registration Forms Due to GBG Trudi Thornburg: May 1, 2026

 

This information is relevant for Daughters submitting their name to be a Grand Bethel Officer (GBO) or Representative (GBR) for the upcoming Grand Year, and their Executive Bethel Guardian Councils (EBGCs). A copy of the information and registration form should be provided to all GBO and GBR candidates.

 

Each Nebraska Executive Bethel Guardian Council (EBGC) is highly encouraged to submit the name or names of Daughters as candidates to serve as a Grand Bethel Officer or Grand Bethel Representative for the 2026-2027 Grand Year. Serving as a GBO or GBR is a fun and rewarding way for a Daughter to be involved at the state level. Daughters will connect with members from across the state and around the Job’s Daughters world. Daughters will also have opportunities to build leadership skills. The Nebraska Grand Bethel is the heart of Nebraska Job’s Daughters; therefore, it is important that all Bethels participate.

 

A Registration Form, which includes a Candidate Agreement & Permission Form, must be completed for each Daughter submitted as a candidate. All forms must be signed and submitted to the Grand Bethel Guardian – via email or regular mail – by May 1, 2026. A fillable PDF form is available below.

​
