An ongoing dialogue about work, workforce, and the workplace co-hosted by Dr. Joanne Li (Chancellor, UNO) & Veta Jeffery (President and CEO, Greater Omaha Chamber).
In fall 2022, UNO began a series of ongoing conversations discussing critical topics influencing how, why and where we work. The “Future of Work Symposium Series” brings together leaders from the public, private, education and nonprofit sectors to shed light on big challenges and share thought-provoking insights on the following:
- Workforce development imperatives and strategies
- Demographic shifts in the economy
- The intersection of work and transportation
- Artificial intelligence and automation in the workplace
The first conversation was held on November 30, 2022 at Mammel Hall’s Business Activity Center from 3pm to 5pm with a reception that followed. It was co-hosted by Dr. Joanne Li (Chancellor, UNO) & Veta Jeffery (President and CEO, Greater Omaha Chamber) and were joined by four distinguished panelists:
 |
Anne Hindery Executive Director Nonprofit Association of the Midlands |

Dr. Cheryl Logan Superintendent Omaha Public Schools |
