The Junior League of Omaha understands that diversity & inclusion covers a lot of ground. So our topics will be sure to engage League members at all levels of their journey.  In listening to the previous year’s feedback, there are two breakout sessions that people will get to attend in addition to the keynotes. Breakout sessions will be offered twice in order to allow attendees to hear from every speaker.

Our aim is to create a safe space for people to come together to ask hard questions, share experiences and insights, and learn from one another. We hope you and your League will join us in taking the next step forward together.
