The Nebraska Commission on African American Affairs (NCAAA) was established in 2020 to advise the executive and legislative branches of the Government, and to engage with community leaders to promote policy and legislation that would positively affect the African American communities of Nebraska.

The NCAAA is engaging in a strategic planning process and is seeking input from members of the Community. Through the process, we invite you to provide your input through this survey. It should take approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Your responses will be helpful in guiding the future direction of the NCAAA.

The results of the survey from the Community will be shared as a collective report to help set the direction of Commission moving forward to best serve the African American Community.

Please submit your responses by Friday, October 31, 2025. Thank you for your valuable time and insights! Your answers will be held confidential, and are important for the Commission to move in a direction to best benefit the African American residents and statewide community partners.

If you have questions or would like to have a discussion about the process and/or issues you believe the Commission needs to address, my email is RobNikStrategies@gmail.com and my mobile number is 402-310-3120.
