Al Warren

I am delighted to serve as this year’s Omaha Downtown Rotary President. I was exposed to Rotary as an eighth grader who attended the Annual Omaha Downtown Rotary Honor Roll event. Never did I ever imagine that exposure would lead to me becoming the President within the organization someday. I am extremely honored to serve as President and excited to work beside so many dedicated Rotarians who truly live the motto of Service Above Self! I have an amazing Board of Directors who are planning events that will allow every member to use their time, treasures, and talents to improve not only our city and region but also the world.

As President, my platform and area of focus is INCLUSIVITY. I want to explore how we can continue to create a welcoming organization in which everyone feels valued and appreciated. I truly feel the time is right for the Omaha Downtown Rotary to further grow in this area which will help position us to become the best Rotary Club in Omaha.

Thank you for visiting our webpage and I invite you to explore our site further. By doing this, I believe you will gain a better understanding of what we are all about and how you would fit into the wonderful work we do on a daily basis. I remember how impressed I was when I attended my first Rotary meeting 6 years ago and I hope if you attend one of our meetings you will have the same feeling.

We meet every Wednesday at the Omaha Field Club and hope to see you soon.

Aileen
