Tanya Patzner has spent more than 33 years with State Farm Insurance, but her connection to the insurance industry began long before that. As an “Agent’s Kid” AK, she grew up around the business, giving her more than 45 years of experience and exposure to the insurance and financial services industry.
A graduate of the University of Iowa, Tanya has earned her LUTCF, FSS, RICP, and LACP professional designations. She is also fully securities licensed as both a Registered Representative and an Investment Advisor Representative. As Tanya likes to say, all those letters simply mean she’s supposed to know a thing or two about insurance and investing!
Although she grew up in Iowa—and remains a loyal Hawkeye fan—Tanya has called Nebraska home for more than 30 years. She owns and operates the Tanya Patzner State Farm Agency in Omaha, serving customers throughout Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas. She leads a team of six fully licensed professionals whom she considers the true heroes of the business. In fact, if you happen to reach Tanya directly, you may hear her joke, “You’ve reached the JV Squad—our Varsity Team is helping other customers. How can we help?”
Tanya and her husband, Marty, have been married for 29 years and are proud parents of three adult children—Jack, Nick, and Brooke—all of whom live in Omaha. These days, they are thoroughly enjoying life as empty nesters.
Today, Tanya will share insights on “Insurance in 2026: What You Need to Know, How Often You Should Review Things and Why You Should Care.”

Rotarians had a wonderful time at the annual Brase Summer Social at their lake house. It was a wonderful evening with fellow Rotarians, great food and beverages, and even better company.
Big thank you to Rodney and Theresa Brase for hosting us!
On Saturday May 23, 2026 several Omaha Morning Rotarians showed up to clean up Walnut Hill Park and surrounding neighborhood. We partnered with Omaha Parks & Rec. We removed buckets of trash and a wheel barrel of dead tree limbs and other debris. When we first arrived the park and neighborhood looked in good shape, but once we started walking around we quickly discovered there was much to do. Huge thank you to all Omaha Morning Rotarians who gave some of their Saturday morning to those who needed much help!
We are sharing the Chair of the Day schedule for our weekly Omaha Morning Rotary meetings. This role includes welcoming the speaker, making introductions, and helping the meeting flow smoothly. Please review the schedule and note your assigned date. If you are not able to serve on your date, please arrange a swap with another member and notify the Program Committee.
Thank you for helping us keep our meetings organized, engaging, and a reflection of the strong fellowship in our club.
We are proud to recognize our dedicated Rotarians who have achieved perfect attendance for the 2024–2025 year! Your commitment to showing up, participating, and contributing strengthens the vibrancy of our Rotary community.
Perfect attendance reflects not just consistency, but also dedication to the values and mission of Rotary — service, fellowship, and making a positive impact in our community and beyond.
👏 Let’s give a big round of applause to all our members who reached this milestone — your reliability and engagement are truly inspiring!
Good morning, and welcome to the Omaha Morning Rotary Club.
We are a community of professionals united by one simple belief — 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 — the relationships built here last a lifetime.
If you're considering joining us, I'd love to have you at our table.
Alvine
