The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) chapter of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization (CEO) took home the top award at the organization's global conference held October 28-30 in Chicago, Ill. The Global Chapter of the Year award annually recognizes one chapter that has demonstrated excellence in developing its organization and its leaders, and offers a comprehensive and meaningful entrepreneurship experience for CEO members. Members must also present at the conference in order to win.

The Mavericks were selected for the honor out of more than 250 chapters and took home a $500 cash award.

The club provides opportunities for students to hone their entrepreneurship skills, and members frequently hear from company founders, CEOs, or experienced entrepreneurs. The organization is advised by Dale Eesley, Ph.D, the John Morgan Community Chair in Entrepreneurship and a marketing and entrepreneurship professor.

In addition to taking home the top prize, the UNO CEO chapter was named a finalist in four additional categories including Outstanding Social Media Marketing and Outstanding Chapter Advisor.
