Emphasis is placed on a wide community volunteer representation, alumni involvement, and staff support to maintain the program committees. The Omaha Executive Institute is a special program offered by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce Foundation exclusively for senior level executives and their spouses who are new to their position or new to the community. The program explores the issues, challenges and opportunities of the Omaha community. Topics are selected to help participants understand the environment in which to do business. Each session is held in a location appropriate to the session's topic.
Optional tours are also available.
Enrollment is limited to 35 individuals. The program is offered once a year, in the fall, with seven sessions. If individual sessions are missed, participants can make them up during future series. Seminars are held in the evening from 5-9 p.m., every other week. Each seminar begins with a reception and concludes with dinner, giving participants opportunity to interact with speakers and other participants.
