KidGlov Advertising Agency Podcast Hosts Humanities Nebraska Executive Director, Chris Sommerich

KidGlov, a boutique marketing and advertising agency based out of Lincoln and Omaha, Neb., was proud to host Chris Sommerich, executive director of Humanities Nebraska on a recent podcast episode of Agency for Change. Humanities Nebraska is an organization helping Nebraskans explore what connects us and makes us human. In the episode, Sommerich explores how the organization helps support humanities programs across the state. 

“It was a delight to sit down with Chris Sommerich and learn more about Humanities Nebraska,” said Kelley Peterson PCM, KidGlov nonprofit creative director and a host for the Agency for Change podcast. “Exploring what makes us human is such an inspirational endeavor. Humanities Nebraska is making an incredible impact on our state, and it was a pleasure to help share their message.” 

“Humanities is about exploring what it means to be human,” said Sommerich. “It’s about bringing people together, people coming together to see how you relate to others around you as individuals, as a community, as a state and nation and as global citizens.” 

Sommerich was named Humanities Nebraska executive director in 2011. He joined the council as development officer in 2004 and became development director in 2007. After shifting to support humanities organizations during the COVID-19 global pandemic, Sommerich and the staff at Humanities Nebraska are reengaging through in-person community events. In September, the organization will facilitate the state-wide tour of the Smithsonian exhibition, Crossroads: Change in Rural America. Later this fall, Humanities Nebraska will bring Henry Louis Gates Jr., host of Finding Your Roots on PBS, to speak at the Holland Center in Omaha.
