Adam Morfeld founded Nebraskans for Civic Reform (NCR) in 2008 to protect voting rights, create more accessible elections and strengthen K-12 civic education. His goal was to create a modern, informed and accountable democracy for all Nebraskans. Since then, Nebraskans for Civic Reform has become the only public interest organization in Nebraska dedicated to creating uniquely Nebraskan civic education and engagement programs, voting rights advocacy and litigation, and conducting Nebraska specific election administration policy research. Adam graduated from the University of Nebraska Lincoln with a BA in Political Science and a minor in Economics. He graduated from the Nebraska College of Law and was a member of the Nebraska Law Review. His scholarly and published research focuses on Nebraska election administration. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
