As selected by vote of the citizens of Cornhusker Boys’ State at the end of the week, the governorship of CBS represents the highest peer-elected office to which a CBS citizen may aspire.
Upon inauguration, a newly-elected CBS governor is awarded custody of the R.N. Riddle Traveling Trophy, is honored with the task of representing CBS throughout his senior year of high school during various American Legion events across Nebraska, and is also invited to return to CBS the summer after his high school graduation, during which time he serves as the sitting Governor of Cornhusker Boys’ State.
