Speaker's Bio Leirion Gaylor Baird was elected the 52nd mayor of Lincoln, Nebraska on May 2019. Previously, Mayor Gaylor Baird served for six years as a member of the City Council and six years as a Lincoln/Lancaster County Planning Commissioner. Her career includes experience as a management consultant, fiscal and policy analyst, and Boys and Girls Club Director. She currently serves on the Lincoln Community Foundation Board of Directors, the University of Nebraska President’s Advisory Council, and Board of Trustees for Mourning Hope. The mayor earned her B.A. from Yale College magna cum laude with Distinction in the History major and holds a Master’s degree in Comparative Social Research from the University of Oxford. She and her husband, Scott, have three children - who, upon their mother’s election as mayor, were deeply disappointed to learn that she does not get to tell Steve Joel when to call snow days.
