COMMISSIONER
MARY ANN BORGESON
Being an elected official has a profound impact on people’s lives every day. The decisions I make
and continue to make directly affect those I serve. That is why I have adopted this motto: “May
You Always Remember to Lead with Your Heart!” I am proud to have been the first Chairwoman
of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners and the first Nebraska female County
Commissioner to serve as President of the National Association of Counties (NACo) paving the
way for others behind me. My position as a Douglas County Commissioner has not always been
easy, but it has instilled in me courage, determination, confidence, hope, and gratitude.
