LINCOLN — After a seven-year run leading Nebraska’s statewide business lobbying group — and speaking out on hot topics such as state brain drain and immigration reform — Bryan Slone announced Tuesday he is leaving his post.
He will step down as CEO and president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry officially in June, following the 2025 legislative session. A search has begun for the next head of the chamber, which describes itself as the state’s “voice of business” in legislation, regulation and policy matters.
But Slone, 67, said he is far from ready to retire and will pursue other possibilities in Nebraska, where he grew up and graduated college. He said he has not made a decision on his next step, but his options include work in the private sector and politics. He wouldn’t specify any office.
