Recently, Past President Camille Metoyer Moten introduced returning Rotarian Deirdre Haj.
Deirdre Haj joined Film Streams in May 2021 following an outstanding run at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, in Durham, NC, which she had led since January 2010. Under her leadership, Full Frame developed into a prized, Oscar-qualifying festival, established year-round programming and community engagement, and prioritized equity, diversity, and inclusion across the organization and its programming.
Achievements during her tenure include the creation of the nationally acclaimed School of Doc filmmaking course for teens, the Teach the Teachers documentary literacy program for educators, and the festival’s celebrated Speakeasy Conversations series, including an annual panel addressing the lack of diversity in the documentary filmmaking field. Haj also developed resources to build new Full Frame offices, as well the Full Frame Theater in downtown Durham, and oversaw a consistent annual growth in membership.
Recently, Hal Daub introduced new Rotarian Tobi Mathouser.
Tobi Mathouser launched her non-profit career in 2000 and made Goodwill Omaha her home in 2006. Tobi takes great pride in the fact that she started off as a Case Manager in one of Goodwill’s mission programs and has since had the opportunity to diversify her knowledge base by holding several different positions within the organization from Organizational Development Manager to Director of Federal Contracts and Mission Programs. In August 2020, Tobi was honored by being named Goodwill Omaha’s President & CEO.
Tobi is passionate about the Goodwill mission, leadership development, and building community awareness and partnerships. Tobi completed Goodwill Industries International’s Senior Leader Program in 2016 and the Executive Development Program in 2020.
