The 2026 National Guardianship Association (NGA) Conference brought together guardianship professionals from across the country for several days of advanced training, collaborative learning, and national-level discussion on emerging issues in adult guardianship and supported decision-making. The conference featured multi-track educational sessions, ethics-focused workshops, and specialized programming focused on best practices. The Nebraska Office of Public Guardian had a strong presence this year, with nine staff attending, including three staff who are Nationally Certified Guardians (NCG).
Additionally, Sara Fowler, Trial Court Services Director for the county courts, attended the NGA’s National Investigator Training, which was held simultaneously with the National Guardianship Association Conference. The National Investigator Training (NIT) covered guardianship abuse investigations, red flags, and standards of practice.
Staff attending these conferences bring new information, expertise, and strategies back to Nebraska in support of vulnerable Nebraskans.
