Last week Kevin Welsh introduced us to new member James Reed.  James is a lifelong entrepreneur and advocate for emerging business enterprises. Starting young on the family sod farm south of Kansas City, he has a diverse business background from owning a heavy-duty truck dealership with his mother to implementing rail asset utilization and recycling programs as a contractor for Union Pacific. His wife Sharla is a Nebraska native, and they moved to Omaha 6-years ago with their young son.  James currently serves on the board of The Studios Inc, an arts non-profit in KC, and is the Manager of Business Development for American Express providing membership strategies to Nebraska business owners. He is an Eagle Scout and personal interests include soccer/swim dad activities, dirt biking, and travel.  

 

Welcome, James! 

We are hoping to have every member participate at any level.  Giving monthly is an affordable and easy option.   Members who donate at the $300 annual level (just $25 a month)  will be recognized as part of the President's Scholarship Circle.

 

These funds are used to support a variety of local and international projects. Pretty much everything our club does!  Your support matters.

 

Thank you to those who have already donated and are listed below.
