Engagement Committee: Speed Networking Event! 

 

 Join us at this Friday’s meeting for a fun and fast-paced Speed Networking activity. 

The goal is simple: meaningful conversations, not business pitches.
The activity, hosted by our Engagement Committee, will take around 40 minutes. 

So we’ll have to eat and clear tables by 12:20. The business portion of the meeting will start at noon sharp. 

We encourage you to come early.

Welcome New Member!

Zachary Blaylock works for Blue Cat Construction, a small full service interior and exterior remodeling company here in Omaha.  

Zach is an Omaha Nebraska native born and raised. He graduated from Creighton Prep in 2015. Zach has had a real odd mix of jobs over the years ranging from a grocery store clerk, donut shop barista, sandwich maker, State Patrol Dispatcher, concrete truck dispatcher, Intermodal Logistics Specialist, and now remodeling sales specialist. Zach has always felt a strong call to help people, but has struggled finding a job where he feels fulfilled in that regard. That is, until now! He has really been enjoying educating homeowners, and seeing their faces after a finished project fills!

 Zach looks forward to getting to know all of you, and helping raise up our community here in Nebraska!
