BIO:

Heather Loughman was born, raised and educated in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan off the shores of Lake Superior. Upon receipt of a master’s degree in rhetoric and technical communication from Michigan Technological University in 2011, she moved to Nebraska for personal reasons with no other definitive career plan other than to become gainfully employed in order to start paying off her school loans. What she found – by way of a grant writing position at Community Action Partnership of Lancaster and Saunders Counties – was so much more: an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the betterment of her community.

Heather became CEO of Community Action in October of 2021. She currently leads a team of 175+ staff working to fight poverty – specifically through provision of early childhood education, homelessness prevention, financial and family well-being, and hunger relief and healthy food access services – across Lancaster and Saunders Counties. She is an active member of the Community Action of Nebraska and Lincoln Workforce Development Boards as well as the Lincoln Littles Early Childhood Champions group. She resides in Fremont with her husband and two dogs, and loves to plan travel for herself and others in her spare time.
