Nebraska Broadband Director Patrick Haggerty to Depart May 1

April 10, 2026 – Nebraska Broadband Office director Patrick Haggerty will step down on May 1, state Gov. Jim Pillen announced Wednesday.

Haggerty led the state’s broadband expansion efforts since taking the role in 2023, shortly after Pillen established Nebraska’s first broadband office. He brought more than three decades of private-sector telecommunications experience to the position.

Under Haggerty, the state secured roughly $44.5 million in federal funding and $21 million in private investment to expand broadband access to remaining unserved Nebraskans under the federal Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment program.
