As the President and CEO of the Greater Omaha Chamber, I have the privilege of witnessing the tremendous impact our members have on the growth and prosperity of our region. Our 130-year strong Chamber stands as a beacon of collaboration, driven by the dedication and passion of our volunteers. I’m reaching out to invite small business owners and business leaders to deepen their engagement with our community by becoming a volunteer or supporting your employees’ growth by encouraging their participation in one of our dynamic membership programs.
Volunteering with the Greater Omaha Chamber is not just an act of service; it’s an investment in your business’ future and the future of our community. Our programs and groups, such as the Red Ribbon Crew and the President’s Club, offer unique opportunities to contribute to our vibrant business ecosystem.
The Red Ribbon Crew plays a pivotal role in celebrating business milestones. By participating in ribbon-cutting and ground-breaking ceremonies, our volunteers not only celebrate new beginnings, but also forge valuable connections. These events symbolize more than just the opening of a business; they represent the growth and resilience of our community. As a volunteer, you’ll be at the forefront of these celebrations, expanding your network and showcasing your commitment to regional prosperity.
Similarly, the President’s Club offers an extraordinary chance to shape the future of our business landscape. By recruiting new businesses to join the Chamber, you’re not only growing our membership but also strengthening our collective voice. Participating in this group allows you to leverage your influence and insights to attract diverse enterprises, enhancing our community’s economic diversity and vibrancy.
Beyond these programs, we also offer opportunities to join YP action committees, the Employer Coalition and event planning committees, such as those for the CODE Conference, Young Professional Summit, and HIRE Conference. These platforms allow you to engage directly with issues and opportunities within your field, driving innovation and best practices.
Volunteering with the Greater Omaha Chamber is a powerful way to contribute to our collective success. It offers a unique blend of community service, networking, and professional development. By joining one of our membership programs or committees, you’ll not only make a lasting impact on our region but also gain invaluable experiences and connections that will benefit your business and personal growth.
