The Greater Omaha Chamber (omahachamber.org) is proud to announce the members of Leadership Omaha Class 49, continuing nearly five decades of one of the nation’s longest-running community leadership programs.

Leadership Omaha brings together professionals from across the region to strengthen their leadership skills, deepen their understanding of Greater Omaha, and build the relationships needed to help move the community forward.

“We are excited to support Class 49 through a year designed to challenge, connect, and prepare them for even greater service to the Greater Omaha community,” said Daniela Rojas Florez, Director of Community Leadership Programs at the Greater Omaha Chamber.

As in previous years, the class was selected by a committee composed of Leadership Omaha alumni and Chamber board members. Selected individuals demonstrated strong community involvement, leadership potential, and a clear commitment to Greater Omaha’s future.

Over the next 10 months, participants will explore issues critical to the region, expand their leadership capacity, and deepen their understanding of community trusteeship. Upon completion, they will join a network of more than 1,900 Leadership Omaha alumni.
