The Greater Omaha Chamber today announced the members of Leadership Omaha Class 45, continuing a four-decades-plus history of cohort-based leadership development.
“Participation in Leadership Omaha begins with accepting a challenge to engage in the community and I am excited to announce Class 45 members have done just that. This class will continue the strong tradition laid before them and will shape their own path forward of community building,” said Liz Kerrigan, senior director of leadership development, Greater Omaha Chamber.
As in the past, this year’s class was selected by a committee of Leadership Omaha alumni and chamber board members. All honorees demonstrated community involvement and a strong vision for the future of Omaha.
The class will spend the next 10 months focusing on community trusteeship, community awareness and leadership styles, ultimately joining a network of more than 1900 Leadership Omaha alumni.
