Message From Our President
Lisa Hatterman

Good morning, and welcome to the Omaha Morning Rotary Club.

We are a community of professionals united by one simple belief β€” that we can do more together than apart. Each week we gather not just to share a meal, but to share ideas, build friendships, and take action on behalf of our community here in Omaha.

Service is at the core of everything we do. Whether through local projects or global initiatives, our members show up ready to make a difference. But just as important is the fellowship β€” the relationships built here last a lifetime.

If you're considering joining us, we'd love to have you at our table.

 
Lisa Hatterman
President, 2026-2027
