For the past 9 years, Voices for Children in Nebraska has been fortunate to connect with amazing families serving in the role of Spotlight Gala – Honorary Family. We choose these families based on their dedication to improving the lives of children and their commitment to the power of community giving. This year, we are thrilled to honor Mr. Steve Martin and Dr. Amy Haddad as our Honorary Family.
Steve Martin is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska (BSBSNE), is a member of the board of directors and is on the company’s executive management team. Before joining BCBSNE, Martin was the founding President, CEO and a board director for Prime Therapeutics Inc., a comprehensive pharmacy benefits solutions company.
