Last week Kevin Welsh introduced us to new member Matt Brewer.
Matt is originally from Omaha and graduated from UNO with a B.S. in Political Science. Matt spent his professional career wearing many different hats in the insurance industry. He is currently employed by Pillar Accounting where he devotes his time to managing the insurance programs of a few key clients, as well as handling the business development aspects of the business as we continue to grow.
Matt is engaged to be married on May 27th, 2023, to Betty Straub. They have two cats and a dog.
In his free time, Matt loves to golf, read, play video games, hike, and occasionally play guitar. He also is a Husker, New York Yankees, and Pittsburg Steelers fan which makes life hard. 😊
Above all, Matt aims to live my life with compassion for others, and to live a joyful life. He’s excited to be a part of the Suburban Rotary Club of Omaha and devote time, energy, and compassion to serving others and connecting with fantastic people. Welcome, Matt!
RLI is for everyone - Leadership is not a position, it is action.
Engage and empower members . . .
Energize and strengthen your Rotary Club . . .
Provide Leadership Development for Members . . .
Learn about Rotary and have fun!
That is the Rotary Leadership Institute experience!
Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a facilitated program with active participation - not lecturing. Topics important to Rotary and Rotary Clubs such as Effective Service Projects, Membership Engagement, and understanding The Rotary Foundation are explored. You will discuss real challenges and exchange ideas.
Sign up yourself - you will be a more effective leader for your Rotary Club.
Nominate members and they will naturally become more engaged because they will have a richer Rotary experience.
RLI is a three-part program. Each RLI participant attends three on-day sessions. Here is your chance to start your RLI journey!
Rotary District 6000 is part of the Rotary Leadership Institute - Heartland USA Division. They have scheduled 2 in-person sessions in 2023.
You must participate in the full day of each part to get credit for graduation.
You must have completed Part I of RLI to register for subsequent parts.
All three parts are offered and will be held with sufficient registration in each.

The next Rotary Book Club book is "The Splendid and the Vile" by Erik Larson. The book is a saga of Churchill, Family and Defiance during the Blitz. It was a #1 New York Times Bestseller.
The book is 503 pages. Because of the length, we are reading half the book for April Discussion (thru Chapter 52), and the other half for May discussion (there are 101 Chapters). We meet again on Tuesday, May 9, at 5:30 p.m. at Bonefish Grill. We are reading the 2nd half of "The Splendid and the Vile" by Erik Larson.
