OMAHA WEST ROTARY CLUB TRADESHOW!

 

Get ready for the ultimate club remix at the Omaha West Rotary Club Tradeshow—your all-access pass to our exciting new chapter!
We are officially streamlining our impact by rolling out our brand-new committee restructuring. We have condensed our previous 12 committees into 7 powerhouse teams, designed to make our service more focused, efficient, and fun. Because everything is fresh, everyone needs to sign up for a new committee!
Think of this tradeshow as a bustling marketplace of opportunity. Browse the booths, meet the committee chairs, and find out where your talents fit best among our 7 new committees:
 
  • Community Service: The boots-on-the-ground crew! 

    This committee is dedicated to rolling up sleeves and diving straight into the local projects that change lives.

  • Programs: The Talent Scouts! 

    This committee locks in the dynamic speakers and events that power the weekly meetings.

  • Sergeant at Arms: The ultimate vibe curators! 

    This committee locks down the venue logistics, rolls out the welcome mat, and brings the heavy-hitting fun to every single meeting.

  • Public Image: The ultimate club hype squad! 

    This committee drops the content, crafts the vibe, and blasts the Omaha West Rotary story across the globe.

  • Project Funding: The financial masterminds! 

    This committee hunts down top-tier grants and injects financial power exactly where it will supercharge community impact.

  • Membership & Engagment: The heartbeat of the club! 

    This Committee recruits the dream team, welcomes the newcomers, and keeps the current members locked in and loving it.

  • Special Events: The master party planners! 

    This committee designs stellar socials and dynamic fundraisers that supercharge fellowship and fund the Club mission.

But that’s not all! The West Omaha Rotary Foundation will also be on-site to explain upcoming/past grants and funding opportunities, showing you exactly how our new structure will supercharge our community investments.
Why you can't miss it:
 
  • Meet the Big 7: Explore the fresh goals of our newly streamlined committees.
  • Choose your adventure: Lock in your committee choice.
  • Follow the money: Learn how Foundation grants will back our new initiatives.
  • Connect and catch up: Enjoy great fellowship, high energy, and inspiring ideas.
Bring your passion, bring your curiosity, and get ready to claim your spot in our new era of Service Above Self. See you on the tradeshow floor!
