Leadership Omaha

You are Omaha’s Future

Deepen your connection to the Omaha community while you explore your own values and priorities as a leader. Leadership Omaha is a 10-month program that creates awareness of our community’s challenges and motivates you to define your personal commitment to a lasting impact.

We launched Leadership Omaha in 1978 to develop effective leaders who will strengthen and transform the community. A selection committee of program alumni and Chamber board members ensures that each class of 45 to 49 participants reflects the diversity of the community-at-large.

Applications are no longer being accepted for Class 44.
