2024 Priorities:
我们2024年的重点围绕着三个主要目标:
- 区域经济增长
- 加强营商环境
- Member Services
Our strategic approach involves measuring success through three key metrics: Total Wage Growth, 主要就业增长和劳动力增长. 我们对奥马哈MSA实际工资增长的承诺推动了经济发展, 强调为更广泛的经济增长创造主要就业机会. Addressing the critical issue of labor force attraction and retention remains at the forefront of overcoming barriers to our region’s growth.
与这些指标相关的工作扩展到整个大奥马哈商会. Yet, our economic development work remains our “true north” and serves as the foundation for strategic programming. From new-to-market business attraction in our eight-county partnership to corridor development in North and South Omaha to startup and small business assistance to continued support for the Urban Core and modern streetcar, the Greater Omaha Chamber is committed now more than ever in being the chief advocate and innovator in regional economic development.
Leading public policy advocacy and maintaining a strong business climate remains paramount to our daily work. 与我们的策略一致, we strive to make the Greater Omaha Chamber one of the most influential voices in the federal, 州和地方公共政策空间通过我们的候选人学院培训, 军事事务的参与和大奥马哈商会PAC的支持.
Our strategic focus on Member Services aims to enhance both engagement and ROI to members through a major membership redesign. With the reintroduction of regular updates on regional economic activity and projects plus the creation of new member benefits, the Greater Omaha Chamber has committed publicly to create the best value-proposition of any business association in Nebraska. 这种通过活动吸引博天堂线上首页的新方法, programming and technical assistance is poised to contribute to the success of businesses looking to expand in the region.
大奥马哈商会(Greater Omaha Chamber)的2023年之旅既是挑战,也是进步. Our advocacy efforts, economic development successes and member engagement initiatives have collectively propelled our community forward. 随着我们大举进军2024年, 我们致力于推动区域增长, enhancing the business climate and delivering exceptional member service remains unwavering.
大奥马哈商会准备继续取得成功, 站在韧性的灯塔上, 合作与繁荣. Thank you for being part of our 130-year story – and helping us write the next chapter of our collective economic success!
