SHAPING OMAHA’S SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ACROSS SECTORS
BY ALLISON JANDA-BROWN
Sustainability is about building firms that outlast their founders, making eco-conscious living accessible and closing Nebraska’s nearly $17,000 gender wage gap. Across the Omaha region, women are leading the way.

In October 2020, Josefina Loza was a 30-something with a divorce behind her, a global pandemic outside her door and an unhealthy job that had stripped away any illusion of security. Most people in such a moment reach for stability. Loza reached for a business plan.
Five years later, Lozafina Marketing and Public Relations is a Latina- and woman-owned boutique communications agency serving nonprofits and mission-driven businesses across Nebraska and beyond. Today, Loza also runs a competitive internship program developing young people, especially those of color and women, for careers in communications.
Some people probably thought launching a business in that moment was reckless, Loza acknowledged, but it was a way of reclaiming herself, of believing in her inherited talents.
“2020 just stripped everything down to the truth of what I am and gutted everything,” Loza said. “I was forced to ask myself, “What is it? What am I? Who am I? What do I truly believe in? What can I build that nobody can take from me?’”
“I want women to understand that it’s OK to stand in your chaos. Stability is not the absence of disruption. Instead, it’s an alignment. Chaos clarifies.”

In the U.S., private employers added 63,000 roles in February, giving the county its best monthly gains since July, according to the private payroll processor ADP.
According to a survey by Bloomberg, economists surveyed had expected an increase of 50,000 in February, an improvement from the previous month’s gain, originally 22,000 roles, but revised Wednesday to 11,000 positions. ADP’s data showed
hiring increases were led by the construction, education, and health care sectors.
The report noted that the Midwest region lost 4,000 positions, while the South saw gains of 37,000 and employers in the West increased by 19,000 positions.
As of March 3, health care jobs led in Nebraska, with openings for over 2,000 registered nurses (793 in Omaha) and 600 physicians (242 in Omaha).

Make-A-Wish Nebraska’s annual Wish Ball gala took place Feb. 21 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Lincoln, bringing together community members and supporters to celebrate the profound impact that wishes can have on local children battling critical illnesses. The event was emceed by Christine Weeks and Sean Flattery from Eleanor Creative.
The evening was filled with inspiring moments and moving stories, including from honorary chairs Tom and Debbie Volk and their daughter Ellie, whose wish to visit Walt Disney World was granted in 2008. Other stories by wish kid Jagger, whose wish of becoming a Husker football player was granted last November, and wish kid Rylee, whose wish to meet the Husker volleyball team came true last September, brought the mission of Make-A-Wish Nebraska to life. In a surprise moment, Mykah’s wish to visit Walt Disney World was granted live on stage.
Attendees learned that more than 150 Nebraska children are currently waiting for their wishes to be granted. Events like Wish Ball play a vital role in ensuring Make-A-Wish Nebraska can continue its mission to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Guests bid on dozens of silent auction packages donated by local businesses and individuals, as well as a live auction. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and attendees, the event raised a record $275,000, which will directly support wish-granting efforts in the Lincoln region.
“The 2026 Wish Ball was a truly inspiring evening, made possible by the incredible generosity and spirit of our community,” said Melissa Davis-Schmit, vice president. “Gathering together to support our allstar wish kids, we not only celebrated the hope and strength that a wish can bring, but also experienced the unforgettable moment of granting a wish live on stage.
“We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, donors and supporters whose unwavering commitment allows us to change lives and brighten the journey for Nebraska children facing critical illnesses. This gala was a testament to what we can achieve when we unite for a cause that matters so much.”

A weekly recap of current, relevant and breaking business news in the area
On Feb. 24, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced a new agreement with Nebraska through the Federal Highway Administration to clear the way for new infrastructure projects to be built faster and more efficiently. Nebraska will now assume responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act which will streamline the environmental review process for Nebraska’s Department of Transportation.
Nebraska is the third state to join the U.S. Department of Transportation in this new partnership model. Duffy signed a renewed NEPA memorandum of understanding with the Texas Department of Transportation last summer and the FHWA administrator signed a NEPA Assignment memorandum of understanding with Maine DOT last month.
Nebraska projects that will benefit include the Lincoln East Beltway, the final segment of a beltway around the city of Lincoln planned since the 1970s; the US-75 Corridor Study, N-370 to Interstate 80, a project improving approximately six miles of US-75 from Interstate 80 in Omaha south to N-370 in Bellevue; Interstate 480 Corridor Study Interstate 80 to Harney Street project; and The City of Beatrice’s Court Street Access and Safety Transformation Project.

Johnny’s Cafe named James Beard Classic
Johnny’s Cafe, established in South Omaha in 1922, was recently named as one of six 2026 James Beard America’s Classics Award winners, honoring “independent owned restaurants with timeless appeal.”
The steakhouse restaurant, located at 4702 S. 27th St. south of L street near the former Omaha Stockyards since 1934, is family-operated by Jack Kawa and daughters Sally Kawa and Kari Kawa Harding. In 2024, Johnny’s was one of 50 small restaurants nationwide to receive $50,000 in funding for exterior improvements from the Backing Historic Small Restaurants Grant Program presented by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and American Express.
was recognized as one of MBJ’s 40 Under 40 in 2022 and inducted into the Omaha Press Club Journalists of Excellence Hall of Fame in 2024.
Danelle Schlegelmilch, founder of Passport Public Relations at Maven Media Collaborative, has known Loza for more than 20 years since working together at the Gateway in college. She said Loza was the youngest woman, possibly the youngest person, to win the Hall of Fame honor.
“When the presenters were going through all her accolades and all the stories she’s told over the years, it just was incredible,” Schlegelmilch said.
Leia Baez, Douglas County communications director who worked with Loza at the World-Herald, said Loza’s success comes from her natural way of connecting with people.
“She had a great way of making them feel comfortable in interviews, in her storytelling,” Baez said. “That’s why she got so many stories where people were willing to go a bit deeper, because she’s such a warm, welcoming person that had a way of making people think their story matters.”
Baez wasn’t surprised when Loza became an entrepreneur, in fact, the two would discuss such a pivot regularly.
“I think she was always an entrepreneur, even when she was a journalist, because she was paving her own way in the newsroom, with her nightlife column, with other stories,” Baez said. “I think she’s always had that entrepreneurial spirit.
Her story is that of being able to jump without knowing what is on the other side. She is just a great example of being able to take that leap into the unknown, where great things can happen.”
Clarity came at a cost, however. Loza described building Lozafina as relentless hustle, working day and night, sidelining her own needs.
“I created Lozafina out of survival and I tried to mask it, really, as ambition,” she said. “I sidelined a lot of my health originally and I carried everything.”
The turning point came when she finally faced two options: she could continue building and keeping all the revenue for herself or she could create ecosystems and pipelines through a sustainable company that allowed other people to grow their skill sets while building revenue and reputation simultaneously.
“I don’t want to pour from an empty cup,” she said. “I want to be filled, overflowing and able to spill onto others. Once I started asking for help and delegating, that’s when I saw we were able to sustain something intentional in-house.”
Schlegelmilch, who has shared office space with Lozafina, and with Loza, started Maven Media Collaborative, said that approach is authentic.
“She will pour herself into everyone,” Schlegelmilch said. “She invests so much time into young leaders and she’s an advocate for so many others who might not know how to share their stories.”
2020 just stripped everything down to the truth of what I am and gutted everything.
- JOSEFINA LOZA, OWNER, LOZAFINA MARKETING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS
That sustainability includes the Girl Talk internship program, which brought Katelyn Fryzek to Lozafina when Fryzek was 18 and a Burke High student journalist. She’s now studying journalism at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and writing for the Daily Nebraskan. Loza was herself a high school journalist who got her first newsroom opportunity at 18.
“Programs create doors,” Loza said. “The people who decide to walk through them with the tenacity Katelyn had, to be fearless and say, ‘What do I have to lose?’ they make it happen. Her wanting proximity to what she saw as excellence, her work ethic, her hunger to acquire those skill sets: that was Katelyn.”
Loza saw herself in Fryzek, in no small way because someone had to open that door for Loza, too. That person was Deanna Sands. Loza was 17, her grandfather had just passed, and she was in Mexico for the summer when her high school journalism teacher sent a message saying she had someone Loza should meet. Sands told her she’d heard about her and wanted to talk when the teen returned. Loza was too young to be a news messenger, so they put her in the library to stock photos until she turned 18 a couple of months later.
“That’s how you build sustainable careers: through access, through mentorship, through consistency,” Loza said. “It just takes one person to let you in the room. I want to open that door for as many people as I can.”
That tenacity extends to how she built her business itself. Schlegelmilch said she wasn’t surprised by Lozafina’s growth — “I expect her to do the impossible” — but was surprised by the speed.
“The connections and the relationships, her tenacity and how brave she is, I’ve been really impressed by that,” Schlegelmilch said.
Loza maintains a counterintuitive approach to employee retention, saying she loves it when someone poaches her employees. She takes a compliment in having developed people so well that others come looking for them.
“I’m building leaders, not lifers,” she said. “Yes, turnover costs money but when
someone leaves for a better opportunity, the way they speak about Lozafina, that’s branding in itself.”
The key, she said, is institutionalizing knowledge through strong documentation, cross-training, transparent client communication and constantly recruiting emerging talent.
“Every bird needs to fly,” she said.
Loza’s daughters have watched her build through chaos, failure and eventual success. She hopes they learned resilience, but not the over-glorified version.
“They also saw the failure, the depression, the anxiety,” she said. “It’s OK to be sad. We’re given the full spectrum: happy, sad, anger, frustration, courage, all of it. I want them to have the courage to look at obstacles as opportunities. To try new things. To know that failure is nothing but a try.”
Ultimately, Loza wants them to be the ones who wait at the finish line not to cheer the first-place finisher but to still be there, cheering, when the last-place runner crosses because they finished.
“It’s not about how long it took,” Loza said. “It’s about the accomplishment and celebrating others while they’re on their journeys, too.”
The connections and the relationships, her tenacity and how brave she is, I’ve been really impressed by that.

Across the Omaha region, women are not just participating in that work, they are leading it. From boardrooms to storefronts to policy tables, three local leaders are helping define what a sustainable future looks like in Nebraska and how to build it to last.
For Jeana Goosmann, founder, CEO and managing partner of Goosmann Law Firm, sustainability begins with alignment.
“It’s easy to build something fast,” Goosmann said. “It’s much harder to build something that lasts, growing stronger, deeper and more resilient with each season.”
Goosmann founded her firm in 2009 and today it’s one of the largest womanowned law firms in the Midwest. Given the legal profession’s foundational role in
- JEANA GOOSMANN, FOUNDER, CEO AND MANAGING PARTNER, GOOSMANN LAW FIRM
economic justice, she stresses sustainability at the community level as being of utmost importance, requiring a strong legal infrastructure.
“We see firsthand how access to strategic legal counsel strengthens entire communities,” she said. “That ripple effect matters.”
Sustainable leadership also means multiplication, and that multiplication shows up not only in mentorship but in structure. Younger attorneys are brought into major negotiations and high-level strategic conversations earlier in their careers. Transparent discussions around compensation, equity and partnership tracks are done intentionally. By teaching attorneys to think like business owners rather than simply practitioners, Goosmann is building institutional durability rather than individual success. By actively mentoring the next generation of attorneys, especially women,
Goosmann strives to ensure the mission continues and will also expand even after she steps back.
In her bestselling book, “Worth It,” she challenges the notion that success must come at the expense of family or personal values. For women in law, particularly those building their own firms, sustainability requires designing something that can flex with different seasons of life.
“Women don’t need to choose between ambition and alignment. We can build firms that are financially strong, culturally vibrant and personally fulfilling,” she said.
For young women who want to build something that outlasts them, her advice is simple: “Be bold and be patient.”
“Sustainability isn’t about avoiding risk,” she said. “It’s about taking calculated risks with clarity and courage.”
Leigh Neary, founder of Exist Green, is reimagining sustainability at the consumer level.
An environmental engineer, Neary opened her store in 2019 after many years
spent aware of the hidden environmental costs of everyday products, such as single-use paper coffee cups. Exist Green is a zero-waste market and eco-boutique offering sustainable, seasonal produce and products from Omaha’s centralized Dundee neighborhood.
“Accessibility is important to us and I don’t want to contribute to the idea that living sustainably is only for the elite,” Neary said.
During her career as an engineer, she studied emerging contaminants such as pharmaceutical and personal-care products that persist in waterways long after use. This experience heightened her awareness of what happens after a product leaves a consumer’s hands.
Yet it wasn’t until she began tracking her household waste that Neary realized how many limitations consumers faced in achieving sustainability such as many sustainable alternatives being available only in bulk plastic packaging or requiring shipping materials that undermine the environmental intent.
Neary monitored every item she consumed, questioning whether there was a reusable or lower-impact alternative before discarding it. Much of what ended up in her waste jar was small plastics and produce stickers, reminders that individual effort could only go so far without better systems. It was an understanding that helped to
Women have always been closest to the problem, which means we’ve always been closest to the solutions.
shape the foundation of her business.
Exist Green runs on solar power and prioritizes circular economy principles. These commitments entail real costs and logistical challenges, particularly amid pandemic disruptions and inflation. Yet Neary views reinvestment as part of the mission.
“Ensuring our ecological values are embedded in every business decision only increases the ‘hard,’” she explained. “Is the hard worth every penny? Definitely.”
Looking ahead, Neary envisions a future where Omaha adds a “reusables stream” alongside recycling and compost. These standardized containers can be commercially sanitized and returned to businesses at scale in an effort to reduce single-use packaging.
“This isn’t a utopian dream,” she said. “It’s actually possible. I want to help make it happen here in Omaha.”
If sustainability requires durable businesses and thoughtful consumption, it also demands systemic equity. That’s the focus of Jo Giles, executive director of the Women’s Fund of Omaha.
Since taking the helm in 2021, Giles has led efforts at the intersection of gender equity and economic security. In Nebraska, women are nearly two-thirds of those accessing public assistance and are 13% more likely than men to live at or near the poverty level. The gender wage gap remains significant: a $16,853 difference between men and women in the state, representing a 38% wage gap.
For Giles, economic sustainability cannot be separated from policy and power.
Economic security is critical to gender equity work because when individuals are lifted out of poverty, the whole community benefits. When women can earn enough to support themselves and their families, it strengthens the next generation by opening doors to education and good jobs. That, she believes, is how lasting change begins.
Yet, according to Giles, economic disparities are widening, public support is eroding and the costs of caregiving, housing and health care continue to rise. Not

only that, but burdens disproportionately impact women — particularly Black, Native American, Latina, disabled, LGBTQ+, rural and older women.
“Women cannot fully thrive in Nebraska until our institutions, policies and cultural norms meet the needs of everyone,” she said.
With a background in public policy and communications, Giles leverages storytelling and ballot initiatives to drive change. As a working mother, she served as a ballot sponsor for Nebraska’s Paid Sick Leave initiative, a measure supported by nearly 75% of voters statewide.
The Women’s Fund recently celebrated 35 years of advancing gender equity and is launching its first Feminist Giving Week this year March 8-13. The collaborative effort partners with other local organizations to help close funding gaps. Globally, women’s organizations receive less than 2% of philanthropic funding.
“We know we will go further together than alone,” Giles said.
One of the Women’s Fund’s strategic goals, she said, is to shift power.
“For far too long, history has told a story that centers power in the hands of a few, while overlooking the wisdom of many, especially women,” she said. “The truth is, women have always been closest to the problem, which means we’ve always been closest to the solutions.”
She describes the work she does as generational, measured in decades rather than days.
Together, these female leaders are illustrating the expansive meaning of sustainability in 2026. It’s not only about reducing carbon footprints or offering “reduce, reuse, recycle” phrases in lieu of actual change. Sustainability, in a broader sense, is about resilience. Across Omaha and the greater Midlands region, women are not simply participating in that future. They are shaping it through their discipline, creativity and vision.

not simply about revenue. It is about impact.
- KAREN WATSON, CEO K WATSON GROUP, LLC
The Equal Pay Act, enacted in 1963, made it illegal to pay women less than men for the same work. A year later, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibited employment discrimination based on sex. In 1978, employers could no longer fire women for being pregnant. In 1984, professional organizations could no longer exclude women from membership.
These aren’t abstract victories; they are the legal infrastructure that made it possible for women to build careers, not just hold jobs.
The transformation shows in the generational arc. Cara Kirsch remembers when being the only woman in the room was common. Karen Watson is still building businesses when many of her peers have retired. Merrick Brtek grew up in a world where women in leadership roles seemed largely normal.
But normal doesn’t mean equal, and legal protections don’t guarantee lived reality. As director of workforce development at the Greater Omaha Chamber, Brtek sees the gap between visibility and equity daily. Watson’s manufacturing business, K Watson Group, LLC operates in a traditionally male-dominated industry where ownership by women remains rare. Kirsch founded The Kirsch Group after recognizing how organizations struggle during times of change, bringing strategic focus to employee benefits consulting.
Their perspectives reveal both how far women in business have come and how
much work remains.
Watson is expanding her manufacturing business across the Midwest with a goal of creating local jobs while attracting more women to ownership, not just employment.
“For me, growth and expansion are multifaceted,” Watson said. “It is not simply about revenue. It is about impact.”
Kirsch became a business owner because she saw a clear gap in the way organizations were being supported during times of change.
“I knew that with the right focus on relationships, strategy and follow-through, I could help clients make better decisions and create better outcomes for their teams,” Kirsch said. “Stepping into ownership allowed me to live out my values in a more intentional way and to build a company that reflects the kind of leadership I want to see in our community.”
According to the SBA Office of Advocacy and U.S. Census data, there are approximately 14 million women-owned businesses in the U.S. as of 2024.
“That alone is an accomplishment,” Watson said. “Women are brave enough to step into entrepreneurship, leave the perceived security of corporate roles and transform their experience and knowledge into becoming employers, developers and creators.”
“Their trusted counsel allows us to focus on the experience, confident that every detail – from complex legal matters to strategic planning – is handled with care. Koley Jessen’s proactive approach, deep understanding of our needs, and unwavering commitment to the community, including their generous pro-bono contributions to College World Series of Omaha, Inc., help us deliver unforgettable experiences and leave a lasting legacy for Omaha.”

Success is measured by the quality of the work, the trust we have and the opportunities we create for others,
At the same time, women-owned firms are funded more slowly and less often than their male counterparts, typically receiving smaller loan amounts.
“Access to equitable capital remains one of the most important areas where work still needs to be done,” Watson said.
“Ownership shifts perspective, influence and long-term generational opportunity,” Watson said of her manufacturing business expansion.
Kirsch’s work in employee benefits consulting focuses on leading women buyers with confidence in making the best decisions for their organizations.
“My goal is to improve the employee benefits industry, which creates programs employers can deliver proudly to their employees,” she said.
“When we talk about women in business, we are really talking about strengthening the entire regional workforce,” Brtek said. “When women are fully engaged in leadership, entrepreneurship and high-growth industries, our region becomes more competitive.”
All three women focus on creating pathways for others. Watson serves as a mentor for women interested in starting or strengthening businesses, sharing her failures as transparently as her successes.
“Most challenges have been faced before, and they can be overcome,” she said.
Watson listens without judgment, creates space for creativity, then provides practical, grounded guidance that helps turn ideas into sustainable action. For many women, she’s a safe space where they can be vulnerable about challenges, fears and concerns without feeling diminished.
Brtek’s programming builds leadership skills and expands professional networks.
“Showcasing women leaders across industries reinforces that greater Omaha offers meaningful career growth for everyone,” she said.
The chamber is also investing in talent attraction marketing to position greater Omaha as a place where ambitious professionals can build both careers
Kirsch is involved with the Ignite Women in Business conference in Omaha, an annual event focused on support and community. She comes by her passion for the work honestly, having come from a line of female entrepreneurs.
“My grandmother taught me so many valuable lessons that shaped the woman I am today,” Kirsch said. “I learned through grit, determination and focus I could accomplish anything.”
Brtek’s leadership philosophy comes from three women: her mother, who told her she could chase every dream without limitation; her mom’s best friend who battled cancer with courage and showed that “you can be both steady and fierce”; and Anne Branigan, her former boss who created safe spaces.
“Watching (Branigan) showed me that strength does not require intimidation. It requires integrity,” Brtek said.
Kirsch often thinks of Madeleine Albright, saying the former U.S. secretary of state understood the power of listening and the importance of pulling others up.
“Her leadership reminds me that we do our best work when we stay principled, stay curious and stay generous with our time and our knowledge,” she said.
Watson sees herself as a pathfinder making the road easier for others, an understanding that comes from watching battles fought by previous generations, she said. One role model who stands out is Carolyn Robinson, an HR representative at Watson’s former corporation.
“She stood her ground,” Watson said. “She advocated in rooms where women were not yet fully represented. Her voice opened doors and shifted perspectives for many of us.”
Kirsch witnessed one of the most meaningful shifts: the growing expectation that women belong in leadership, not as exceptions but as normal.
“I want younger women to know that this shift happened because many people put in years of effort to challenge norms, advocate for inclusion and deliver excellence even when the environment was not designed with them in mind,” Kirsch said. “Progress is real, but it is still fragile.”
The inequities haven’t disappeared. There remains an unspoken expectation to outperform just to maintain parity.
“One of the ongoing inequities is the limited grace extended to women for mistakes,” Watson said. “We deserve do-overs, the freedom to pivot unapologetically, and the recognition that failure is not final. It is often just preparation for a larger goal.”
Watson believes her generation’s version of the fight includes collaboration, that women can work together and more than one woman can succeed at the same time.
“The work ahead is about expanding the circle, creating room for multiple women to lead, thrive and be recognized simultaneously,” she said.
Brtek sees her generation’s role as refining systems that support transparency and equitable advancement.
“The work is not about revisiting past barriers, it is about building a future-ready workforce where all talent can contribute at the highest level,” she said.
For Kirsch, success means building a business that gives more women the chance to lead and thrive.
“Success is measured by the quality of the work, the trust we have and the opportunities we create for others,” she said.
Brtek’s vision includes measurable progress: stronger leadership pipelines, higher retention of early- and mid-career women, and continued growth in women serving in key leadership roles.
“Advancing women in business is not a separate initiative,” she said. “It is central to building a competitive and resilient economy.”
Douglas County residents can now receive weather alerts and emergency notifications in more than 130 languages, expanding language access and strengthening public safety communication as the Douglas County Emergency Management Agency prepares for Severe Weather Awareness Month in March.
Douglas County recently launched a partnership with the ReachWell app, allowing residents to receive emergency notifications in their preferred language. Alerts issued by first responder agencies and weather authorities are pulled into the app and translated for residents.
“We’ve received feedback that not everyone understands what outdoor warning sirens mean,” said Whitney Shipley, director of the Douglas County Emergency Management Agency. “Douglas County has a strong refugee population, and many people coming from other countries may not be familiar with sirens or what they signal. Providing alerts in multiple
languages allows us to reach more people and helps ensure everyone in our community has the opportunity to receive timely and detailed emergency information.”
Residents can sign up for emergency alerts in their preferred language in three steps:
• Download the ReachWell app on any mobile device
• Search for the channel “Douglas-Omaha Alerts”
• Select the preferred language to receive notifications
Alerts include weather warnings, Amber Alerts and emergency notifications from local first responders.
The first outdoor warning siren test for the 2026 season took place March 4. Tests occur at 11 a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month through October and consist of a single sounding. Tests are weather permitting and will not occur if threatening weather is present.
“Outdoor warning sirens are just one tool,” Shipley said. “We urge the public to have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, including the ReachWell app.”
MARCH 26 THRU APRIL 19
BY KAREN GIBLER, PRESIDENT AND CAO OF THE SARPY COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Sarpy County Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, is proud to bring the 2026 National Civics Bee to Sarpy County and the Omaha Metro area. This educational initiative empowers middle school students in grades 6–8 to explore civics, engage with their communities and develop leadership skills through a nonpartisan, multi-round competition.
By becoming a sponsor, businesses demonstrate a commitment to education, leadership and community engagement while gaining visibility among students, families, educators and community leaders. Sponsors align their brand with a respected national program focused on public service and civic responsibility.
Sponsorship opportunities are available at three levels, allowing donors to make a meaningful impact.
Students begin by submitting an essay that identifies a local community issue and proposes a solution. Top submissions advance to live competitions at the regional and state levels, where students demonstrate their knowledge of history, government and current events in a quiz-style format. Finalists may go on to compete at the National Championship in Washington, D.C. for cash prizes, national recognition and a $100,000 529 education savings plan contribution.
Thanks to the generous support of the Fisher Global Foundation, the first-place winner in each state may also secure a $5,000 donation for their school.
The Sarpy/Omaha Metropolitan regional finalists competition will take place on April 22, bringing together students, educators, families and community leaders to celebrate civic knowledge and youth leadership. The National Civics Bee plays an important role in building informed, confident citizens while encouraging students to think critically about the world around them and how they can contribute to their communities.
The success of the National Civics Bee in Sarpy County and the Omaha Metro area depends on local philanthropy support. Sponsorships help fund student participation, event logistics, educational materials, awards and the overall experience for competitors and their families. More importantly, sponsors invest directly in the development of the next generation of civic-minded leaders.

A single AI query requires roughly 2.9 watt-hours of electricity, compared with approximately 0.3 watt-hours for a traditional Google search1 — a 10x increase in power consumption simply from using AI instead of search. Now, imagine the demand implications as agentic AI systems begin performing multistep tasks autonomously rather than responding to a single prompt.
For decades, U.S. electricity demand remained flat as population and economic growth were offset by efficiency gains like LED lighting and improved appliances. That equilibrium is now breaking. Estimates suggest that to support data center expansion over the next five years, the United States may need to add electricity generation capacity equivalent to the entire annual electricity consumption of Brazil. This is not a blip on the radar, it’s an “Industrial Revolution.”
AI’s expansion is not abstract but rather it is profoundly physical. It requires copper wiring, transformers, substations, turbines, grid upgrades, optical fiber, semiconductor fabrication plants, cooling systems, water infrastructure, steel, cement and heavy construction equipment. It fuels demand for engineering firms, electrical contractors, industrial automation providers and equipment rental companies. And, of course, chips.
Hyperscalers2 are investing hundreds of billions of dollars into physical assets. All of this coincides with additional tailwinds such as ongoing industrial reshoring, vehicle electrification, accelerated depreciation incentives from the Big Beautiful Bill and rising global defense spending. These forces are converging into a powerful upcycle that is spurring a resurgence of demand for cyclical companies.
We’re beginning to see confirmation in the economic data. Industrial production recently rose 0.7% versus expectations of 0.2% (annualized, that’s an 8.4% growth rate). Manufacturing output increased 0.6%, its strongest reading since 2024. The Purchasing Managers’ Index has moved back into expansion territory and job growth remains stable.
We’re not fans of economic statistics. They lag by months and historically have shown little predictive correlation to stock market returns. But when even the backwardlooking indicators begin to inflect higher, it reinforces what capital spending plans and corporate commentary have already been signaling: activity is accelerating.
A year ago, the dominant question was whether the economy would experience a hard or soft landing. Since then there has been a material shift. Global growth has been accelerating, spearheaded by investment in AI but supported by a confluence of coinciding forces: industrial reshoring, electrification, fiscal incentives and rising defense spending.
As the megacap technology leaders transition deeper into investment mode, the most pronounced acceleration in business fundamentals is likely to emerge within the cyclical industries supplying that buildout. None of this diminishes the view that AI represents a generational opportunity. Rather, it underscores that its ripple effects extend deep into the real economy.

JEANNE NIELSEN
Bio:
Fremont native Jeanne Nielsen has owned and operated Dundee Candle company for five and half years. A graduate of Midland University in Fremont, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in business, and a member of the Dundee Merchants Association, Nielsen and her company were recently honored with the Sustainability Seal recognizing green business practices, presented by Keep Nebraska Beautiful.
What led you to your chosen field?
I have worked in small businesses for around 25 years. I wanted to own a small business and be my own boss because I wanted to create an experience for people. I wanted to give them a place to go relax and have some fun with friends, family and co-workers. I have always worked in small business and I wanted to continue do that in a fun way. The Dundee neighborhood is a great location with other small businesses and great neighbors.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
Meeting people and being involved in the community. I belong to the Dundee Merchants Association, which is a strong group of small business owners that work very hard to support their businesses, serve their customers and keep their community thriving.
What led you to hear about the Sustainability Seal? Why did you want to pursue this designation?
Keep Nebraska Beautiful contacted me. We had been working very diligently to recycle as much as we could, and it is nice to be recognized as a business
Why is it important for you personally to run a company that operates in this manner?
I want to make a positive impact in my community. Being conscious about the environment and the materials I use in my business is important. I don’t just want to run a good business; I want to run a business that takes care of its community and those around me.
What’s your message to other business owners about examining their operations and making necessary changes? Why should this be important to them?
As small businesses, we need to use our resources wisely. We should all be concerned about the environment and the impact that we are making. All

Your thoughts on being recognized by Keep Nebraska Beautiful with this designation?
I was honored that we were awarded the Keep Nebraska Beautiful Sustainability Seal. We knew we had been working hard at recycling, but we have made additional changes to do even more.
After this experience earning the Sustainability Seal, I am always thinking now about how can I improve what we are already doing in ways that will make an impact; not only for my business, but for my community and those around me.
