As a state and as a metro, a lot of progress has been made to expand economic opportunities, but a lot more has to be done before Nebraska and the Omaha Metro are in position to compete for people and jobs and to grow our workforce. Among other things, it is necessary to link our communities through a shared strategy for economic development. 6 Regions, One Nebraska is a transformative initiative that is uniting leaders to solve the dramatically evolving challenges we face.”

 

Dana Bradford, CEO of C3 Brands and regional co-chair

“I’m excited to join forces with area leaders to help our communities prosper. We’re seeing extraordinary growth, but we can’t take its continuance for granted. We have lots of work to do, and it will take teamwork across the region to fulfill our mission to ensure a brighter future for our kids and grandkids.”

 

Fremont Mayor Joey Spellerberg, co-chair for the region

“At MCC, we are all about partnership. Our industry partners generously provide resources and input to support MCC in building a pipeline of career-ready talent. We also work closely with high schools and other institutions of higher education—partnering together to prepare students for high-demand jobs. We’re excited for how 6 Regions, One Nebraska will strengthen MCC’s ability to meet regional workforce needs.”
