The city of Omaha found new love for Peyton Manning’s play-calling skills over the weekend. That brought the city of Omaha, Nebraska, which doesn’t even have an NFL team, a little welcome attention. — Official Omaha Info (@VisitOmaha) January 12, 2014. Omaha, Omaha! The Greater Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau was certainly surprised—and pleased—when the largest city in Nebraska was trending on Twitter this weekend.

Omaha wasn’t spared from the historic flooding, but that didn’t stop the Omaha Bar Association from putting on an event that mixes fun and aid. The group’s Pints for a Purpose event on Thursday at an Omaha beer garden will help raise money for the American Red Cross. Organizations throughout the Cornhusker State are hosting fundraisers and offering aid in response to the “bomb cyclone” that slammed Nebraska and neighboring states this week.

From Anchorage to Honolulu to Omaha, it’s amazing how winemaking is spreading, and yet, the ability for craft winemakers to get their products recognized and shipped to market can be hampered simply by size.”. Many associations say they want to be like Amazon, but do they act like it? The Craft Wine Association recently stepped up to the e-commerce behemoth by creating an online marketplace where consumers can buy from CWA members. When it’s time to buy something, where do you turn?

For example, in the research for our latest book , Maddie Grant and I studied a healthcare company in Omaha, Nebraska that provides rehabilitation services to people with brain and spinal chord injuries. This post was originally published on the Switch and Shift blog. There’s a lot being written about organizational culture “eating strategy for lunch,” and I certainly understand the sentiment.

The cost of living (in small towns) can be cheaper,” NSBA President Michael Fenner explained to the Omaha World-Herald. In an effort to bring more lawyers to communities in need, the Nebraska State Bar Association has launched a program to place law clerks in small-town practices across the state. The American Bar Association is footing part of the bill through a grant. The bright lights of big cities are a big draw for many law students.

The bourbon bar “popped up” again on Monday afternoon, but joining it this time was Visit Omaha’s Popcorn Pop-Up. To help attendees fuel up for their afternoon sessions and network at the same time, a number of ASAE partners hosted pop-up events during this week’s Great Ideas Conference. It’s a trend that’s catching on at meetings everywhere. To build buzz around brands and products, companies like Target are increasingly hosting “pop-ups.”.

Grand Rapids had a local craft beer (Founders Brewery) and brought the brewer with them, and Omaha had a local ice cream. A week ago I was in St. Louis at the ASAE Opening Celebration. It is four days of pure association geekdom. And I love it. As a one person shop, my attendance at the Oklahoma Society of Association and American Society of Association Executives activities are critical for me to grow as an executive. Here is my view of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of ASAE 2011.

In Omaha for HR Reinvention. Guess where Jamie Notter and I will be on May 22? HR REINVENTION: WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT. Human Resources is at a crossroads. HR can no longer sit on the sidelines, watching others play the game. Time for change is upon us. Human Resources must evolve as a serious partner in the business, one that links values and value-creation with people and practices. HR must emerge as a fearless leader.

After a 19-year-old man fatally shot eight people and injured five others at the Westroads Mall in Omaha, the industry started working more closely with the Department of Homeland Security on emergency response to such situations, according to the Associated Press. While the scale of the Westgate Mall incident in Kenya this week has drawn attention to the need for mall security, one industry group says that focus was already there—and will likely intensify here at home.

This sort of brand hijacking doesn’t always work, but organizations can certainly gain a lot of free exposure from this approach if it’s done well—as the Greater Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau did when it riffed on Peyton Manning’s play-calling a couple weeks ago. Are your younger members missing out on larger opportunities within your association via your “young professionals” group? Also: a great example of brand hijacking during last night’s Grammys.
