The Learning Community of Douglas and Sarpy Counties has appointed an interim CEO with a background in community service, youth empowerment and advocating for under-resourced communities.
Gerald Kuhn’s appointment to the role was unanimously approved by the Learning Community Coordinating Council at its Nov. 16 council meeting. His official start date will be Monday, November 20, 2023.
In previous positions, Kuhn has served local community organizations and governmental bodies, including Mosaic, Jesuit Academy, Boy Scouts of America and the City of Omaha. Kuhn replaces Dr. Bradley Ekwerekwu, who resigned from the CEO position effective November 17, 2023.
“I’m honored to have been appointed interim CEO of the Learning Community of Douglas and Sarpy Counties,” Kuhn said. “Throughout my career, I’ve focused on serving organizations that improve community and uplift young people, two qualities I’ve long admired in the Learning Community. Dr. Ekwerekwu has led with purpose and integrity, and the Learning Community is better for his leadership. I’m eager to build upon the relationships I’ve formed with students and families, staff and the dedicated elected officials of the coordinating council to continue supporting and strengthening our community.”
