| GREATER OMAHA CHAPTER CHAPTER - Dec 08, 2022 |
Holiday Mixer Boasts Largest Turnout in Chapter History |
In December, the chapter held its annual Holiday Mixer at the Beardmore Event Center in Bellevue, Nebraska. This is an event where the chapter gives back to the membership, the sponsors and chapter supporters. The pinnacle of the mixer was the chapter's award of STEM grants to area educators. The chapter awarded a total of $8,640 to 10 educators from the Greater Omaha Metropolitan area to support their STEM teaching initiatives in their classrooms. The event was sponsored by TEK Systems and boasted an attendance of 71, the chapter's largest Holiday Mixer to date. |
