A member of Nebraska's administration since May 2003, Marc Boehm (pronounced BAME) serves as Executive Associate Athletic Director for External Operations. Boehm serves as the sport supervisor for the Nebraska men's basketball program. He also serves as the liaison to Pinnacle Bank Arena, the NU Foundation, the Nebraska Alumni Association and IMG.

He oversees all external areas of the department, including development, ticketing, communications, emerging media, marketing and HuskerVision.

Boehm played a lead role during the men's and women's basketball programs move into Pinnacle Bank Arena in 2013-14. He also worked to help develop Nebraska's new practice facility - the Hendricks Training Complex - which opened in October of 2011.

Boehm has worked to create a fan-friendly atmosphere at men's and women's basketball, leading to record-setting attendances and season ticket sales for both programs.

In 2013-14, the men's basketball program sold out its season tickets for the entire year in May of 2013 in anticipation of the first season at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The more than 15,000 Husker fans that packed the new arena watched the Big Red roll to a 15-1 home record on their way to the 2014 NCAA Tournament.

NU ranked 11th nationally in average home attendance (15,492) in 2017-18, while the Huskers won 22 games and advanced to the postseason for the sixth time under Boehm's watch. The Huskers went 13-5 in the always powerful Big Ten Conference.

Boehm was also the sport supervisor for women's basketball during the most successful stretch in school history. The Husker women earned seven NCAA Tournament bids, including a pair of NCAA Sweet 16 appearances in 2010 and 2013. The Huskers have produced the four highest single-season win totals in NU history over the past seven years. The Big Red have finished the season ranked in the top 25 in four of the past seven seasons - the first four top-25 final national rankings in school history.

In 2013-14, Nebraska won its first-ever women's basketball conference tournament title, claiming the Big Ten crown with a 3-0 run in Indianapolis.

In 2017-18, the Huskers produced the nation's largest turnaround in the win column. Nebraska's 14-win improvement allowed the Big Red to finish with a 21-11 overall record that included a tie for third with an 11-5 mark in the Big Ten Conference.

The Huskers advanced to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals before competing in the 2018 NCAA Tournament under Big Ten Coach-of-the-Year Amy Williams.

The Nebraska women's basketball program also ranked among the top 25 nationally in average home attendance for nine consecutive seasons.

Boehm also played a lead role in bringing NCAA Tournament basketball to Lincoln for the first time since 1993, as the Husker women played host to the NCAA Lincoln Regional. Eventual national champion UConn, Texas A&M, DePaul and BYU battled for a spot in the 2014 NCAA Women's Final Four. The two sessions attracted well over 17,000 fans.

Boehm, who played a significant role in aiding Nebraska's functional transition to the Big Ten Conference in 2011-12, was also instrumental in conceptualizing and developing the Husker Nation Pavilion, which is the premier pregame event around home football games.

Boehm also took the lead role in obtaining First National Bank and Ameritas as premier sponsors for the Nebraska Athletic Department for a combined deal worth more than $7 million over a three-year period. First National Bank and Ameritas joined Verizon, Pepsi and adidas as premier corporate sponsors for Husker athletics.

Boehm held the same position at Pittsburgh from 1997 to 2003. Boehm assisted in the rise of the Panthers' basketball program with the men's team posting back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament. During construction of the Panthers' new athletic facilities, Boehm played a central role in Pitt's athletic teams moving to the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, Heinz Field and the Petersen Events Center.

Boehm served as interim athletic director at Pittsburgh for nearly five months before coming to NU. During that time, he hired men's basketball head coach Jamie Dixon.

Boehm also spent five years as associate executive director of the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. He directed and managed a 125-member fund-raising committee of Arizona business people responsible for generating more than $4.5 million in cash and in-kind partnerships. Previously he spent four years as associate executive director and public relations director of the Sun Bowl from 1987 to 1991.

Born in Grand Island, Boehm earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Kansas State in 1984 and added a master's degree in sports management from St. Thomas (Fla.) University in 1985. Boehm and his wife, the former Janelle Broderick of Minot, N.D., have three boys, Broderick, Christian and Lukas John.
