FALL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE McCook Community College Business Instructor Lorrie Mowry took students to the Nebraska Phi Beta Lambda Fall Leadership Conference in Omaha. Students attending included: Kaleb Gillen, Deanne Crocker and Autumn Miller. This annual confer-ence is designed to connect members with businesses and busi-ness professionals, train local officers and members, and share information on Nebraska PBL activities and goals. The confer-ence was held at Gallup in Omaha. MCC’s PBL students toured Conagra and heard from the one of their vice presidents in Omaha, as well as IT, supply chain management, and product development. “We were able to taste test a couple of new product ideas as well – they were tasty,” Mowry said. The group also had “state” dinner with the other chapters from Ne-braska that night. On Friday, at Gallup in Omaha, the MCC group heard from several business professionals, participated in a professional business panel question and answer session. The keynote speaker was Taylor Seibert, of Striv, a sports streaming service. Traditionally one of the popular events at this annual event is the Business Panel and Networking Lunch-eon. This year that luncheon included representatives from: OTB Blue, Cognitive Clinical Trials, Gallup, First National Bank of Omaha, Sandhills, Seim Johnson, First State Insurance, Nelnet, Brown's Medical Imaging, Sapp Bros., Inc, Nebraska Depart-ment of Banking and Finance, Aureus Group, Harry A. Koch, Edward Jones, Nebraska Recycling Council, and Tenaska, Inc.
