Governing Board
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Regional Governing Board
Regional Governing Boards are local units of government organized under the
Interlocal Cooperation Act for the purpose of planning, organizing, staffing,
directing, coordinating and reporting of the local service systems of mental
health, and substance abuse within geographic areas (regions). There are six
regions in Nebraska.
Each county participating in the region appoints one county commissioner to the
board to represent that county and to participate in the decision making of the
Regional Governing Board. The Boards are staffed by the Regional Program
Administrator who in turn hires sufficient staff to accomplish the tasks within
the region.
The regions function as Regional Networks in the Behavioral Health System meaning the administrator, acting on behalf of the Board, purchases needed services from within the region and, if necessary, from other service providers across the state.

- Cass County - R.W. (Ron) Nolte

- Sarpy County - Rich Jansen
- Washington County - Duane Willcox, Board Vice Chair
