Director of Women Investing
in Nebraska

Morgan Holen

I graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where I was an active member of the Kappa Chapter of Chi Omega and served as Recruitment Chair. After becoming a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach and earning my MBA, I was honored to be crowned Miss Nebraska in 2021 and had the privilege of competing at the 100th anniversary of Miss America. During my year of service, I traveled over 30,000 miles across Nebraska, promoting CliftonStrengths and mentoring individuals of all ages. Today, I serve as the inaugural Director of Women Investing in Nebraska, where I help guide over 350 women in making impactful philanthropic decisions. I also facilitate for the Nancy Walton Laurie Leadership Institute of Chi Omega, supporting the leadership development of young women across the country.
