Invite a friend and join us for the Leadership Omaha Alumni Association and the LEAD Alumni Association annual Ag Adventure Tour, July 12-13. This year is our Reverse Tour, focused in the Greater Omaha area. We’ll explore the impact of agriculture on urban culture. The tour is a way to build rural to urban bridges, learn about exciting initiatives and enjoy great food.
We’ll begin at the Greater Omaha Chamber then will make our way (by bus) to multiple destinations including The Blair Biocampus – Cargill and Novozymes, The Highlander neighborhood, The Women’s Center for Advancement, No More Empty Pots and much more!
All meals and snacks will be provided and lodging is available at the Embassy Suites in the Old Market on Friday night. We’ll conclude by 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 13. Cost is $125 and plus ones are welcome.
