Of the five Nebraskans who will be honored on April 13 by Civic Nebraska, three of them are Grand Islanders. Eric Garcia-Mendez, Kendall Bartling and Joseline Reyna are among those who will be saluted for their efforts to "build a more modern and robust democracy in the Cornhusker State," says a news release. They will be presented with Strengthening Democracy Awards at a ceremony at the Livestock Exchange Ballroom in Omaha. The 2023 Strengthening Democracy Awards honorees include educators, advocates, students and everyday Nebraskans who demonstrate exceptional civic leadership and who embody Civic Nebraska's vision of a collaborative, innovative society.
