Meet Jane Erdenberger

Jun 23, 11:50 AM CST

Don Walton began his column today by profiling Jane Erdenberger, the Nebraska Democratic Party’s next National Committewoman:

Meet Jane Erdenberger.

A corporate securities lawyer for 22 years at Kutak Rock in Omaha, she left her profession to become a social studies teacher at Omaha North Magnet School.

Erdenberger gave up more than $200,000 in annual income to take a job seven years ago that offered her a starting salary that approached $30,000.

“I love it,” she said Saturday as she sat outside Midland Lutheran College enjoying the morning sun.

“I didn’t ever say that about my old job.”

Erdenberger teaches geography, ethnic studies and African American history at a racially integrated school.

Challenging, yes.

Rewarding, yes.

Measured in ways other than financial gain.

Congratulations again to Jane. She will be replacing Kathleen Fahey, who did not run for re-election, as the NDP’s National Committeewoman.
