Toby Samuelson a Leadership Omaha Class 42 Graduate
Omaha, Neb., August 27, 2020 – Morrissey Engineering today announced Toby Samuelson graduated from Leadership Omaha (LO), one of the nation’s longest-running community leadership programs, has graduated its latest “best class ever” – a diverse group of leaders engaged in precedent-setting activities throughout the region.
The 10-month course, nearly half of which was impacted by exponential change caused by a worldwide health pandemic, focused on opportunities in Greater Omaha designed to fuel a vibrant community characterized by forward-momentum. The result: collaboration in the form of small-group projects that translated insight into action, along with motivated leaders who are ready to strengthen and transform the community.
“We are proud to recognize Toby to an accomplished alumnus of leaders in a region that is truly extraordinary: Omaha,” said Morrissey Engineering Principal George Morrissey, “Our organization is honored to support Leadership Omaha, and to call ourselves part of a team of remarkable individuals dedicated to ensuring prosperity for all.”
“It was truly an honor to guide this class of leaders, especially during unique pandemic circumstances. Their commitment to staying engaged took determination and was inspiring to see. This class, like the alumni before them, exceeded expectations and I’m excited for their continued leadership in our community. Congratulations, Class 42!” said Liz Kerrigan, Greater Omaha Chamber’s leadership strategist.
