The NSBA is governed by a policy-making House of Delegates, whose members are elected; an Executive Council, consisting of one delegate elected from each of Nebraska's six Supreme Court districts; a chair and chair-elect, elected by the House of Delegates; and a president, president-elect, president-elect designate and immediate past president elected by active NSBA members.
