Cindy Huff of McCook, Nebraska is a retired school superintendent after 32 years of service to public schools in central and southwest Nebraska. Cindy’s career included positions as a teacher, coach, principal, and superintendent. She continues her connection to public education through her affiliation with the Nebraska Rural Community Schools Association as an educational consultant, conducting superintendent searches and Board of Education development opportunities.
Cindy earned a B.S, M.S., and Specialist degrees from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
Always leading with her heart, Cindy was committed to her students by living her motto: Leadership first, management second. Today she enjoys continued interaction with public schools and the communities where she has worked and still refers to each as home.
In addition to her service on the board of Nebraska Community Foundation, Cindy will continue to serve as volunteer chair of NCF’s affiliated fund, the McCook Community Foundation Fund. With more than $3.7 million in endowed assets, McCook Community Foundation Fund plays a major role in making quality-of-life investments that are attracting young families to southwest Nebraska.
Cindy Huff and her husband, Tom, have six children, eight grandchildren, and four dogs. She says she continues the hunt for that ever-elusive master angler walleye and enjoys exploring the world through the eyes of her grandchildren.
