Todd grew up in Papillion, Nebraska, and graduated from University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1981 with a degree in journalism. Two years later he started a magazine called Omaha Today, which helped to springboard a 30+ year career in magazine publishing. The positives include the philanthropic and cultural events around town as well as the abundance of business opportunities. Todd credits his staff with creating an award-winning magazine that has been recognized with regional Great Plains Journalism Awards, state AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) awards, and local Omaha Press Club awards.
Just recently, a momentous event occurred as the Rotary Corporate Membership was officially inaugurated, a collaborative effort led by our esteemed Mayors and dedicated Rotarians, Hal Daub and Jim Suttle. This remarkable display of unity, made possible by Rotary, is unfolding right before our eyes.
With the two mayors joining forces for the noble cause of "service above self," there's an air of boundless potential. As they work hand in hand, there's an unwavering assurance that everything will ascend to new heights.
Jim and Hal extend a heartfelt invitation to their fellow Rotarians, urging them to join forces to recruit corporate members. In this initiative, corporations can nominate up to four individuals from their ranks to represent their company within Rotary.
If you have a specific company in mind or wish to explore this opportunity further, please don't hesitate to contact Jim and Hal. Your support and participation can help foster even greater positive change within our community through Rotary's shared values and mission. Together, we can make a difference that resonates far and wide.
