Greater Omaha
Chamber

In the upcoming days, as you cheer on Team USA, keep in mind you will have the opportunity to see 75 percent of the U.S. Olympic roster play live in Omaha during the coming months. The U.S. Olympic team has named nine League One Volleyball (LOVB) founding athletes to its roster of 12 to defend Gold in Paris '24.

Each year, the Greater Omaha Chamber recognizes dozens of truly deserving businesses with the Business Excellence Awards.
