Study ranks Eppley Airfield 15th out of 18 medium-sized airports

Omaha’s Eppley Airfield ranked 15th in its category of 18 airports in J.D. Power’s 2025 North America Airport Satisfaction Study. Airports were classified for the study as mega, large or medium; Eppley was placed in the medium category and a J.D. Power representative named its ongoing construction as one factor affecting its ranking. Eppley earned 618 points out of 1,000, while the top-scoring medium airport, Indianapolis International Airport, earned 713.

The study measured overall passenger satisfaction with North American airports by examining their experience across seven areas: ease of travel through airport; level of trust with airport; terminal facilities; airport staff; departure/to airport experience; food, beverage and retail; and arrival/from airport experience. The 2025 data in the annual study reflected a general increase in satisfaction with service, but also indicated room for improvement.

A LEGACY PARTNER

Security National Bank

Banking on Family

PRESERVING 60 YEARS OF SERVICE ACROSS GENERATIONS

A piece of sky-blue fabric and a piece of butteryellow fabric embodied the spirit of service instilled in the staff at Security National Bank on a midsummer day when executive vice presidents and cousins

James V. “Jim” Huerter III and James E. Landen Jr. were talking about their family’s banking legacy.

Those two pieces of fabric are “Mickey ties.”

“Our grandfather (Clarence L. “Mickey” Landen Jr.) had a closet full of ties, and when he passed away, all of his sons and sons-in-law and grandsons wore a tie to his funeral that was one of his,” Huerter said.

Several family members kept Mickey’s ties as a memento. Sitting in a conference room at the bank’s headquarters, the two cousins realized they had each chosen to wear one of their grandfather’s ties that day.

These visible reminders speak of the man who founded the bank more than 60 years ago and the values he instilled in

four generations of family.

“It’s really impossible for either of us to separate the company from our family, especially our grandfather and grandmother who founded it,” said Huerter, chief operating officer and Nebraska market president.

Built on helping others

In 1964, Mickey established Security National Bank with four associates and $500,000 in capital. In order to gain customers, Mickey started knocking on doors with a simple approach: be a friend to everyone.

“Mickey knew no stranger,” said Landen, chief revenue officer and Texas market president. “He had a way of communicating with people where he could make you feel like you’ve known him your whole life the first time you met him.”

That philosophy extended beyond the office.

JAMES E. LANDEN JR. AND JAMES V. “JIM” HUERTER III

“One thing our grandfather did a lot, he bought people new tires,” Huerter said. “He’d be at the gas station, and ... see a mom with two young kids who needed to get new tires. He would quietly walk inside the station, buy a set of four new tires for her, and walk out.”

The philosophy created a successful, family-owned bank. By 1990, Mickey’s sons, current Executive Chairman James E. “Jim” Landen Sr. and CEO Clarence L. “C.L.” Landen III, were leading the company into the digital age.

Mickey and his wife, Mary, were intentional about preserving these values. They formed the M & M Foundation and wrote a book called “Family Days” to codify their principles for future generations.

“We all have a responsibility to help one another and at different stages of your life, you know, the capacity that you have to help, whether through time or talent or treasure may vary,” Huerter explained. “But the responsibility to help never does.”

Growing while staying grounded

In March 2020, Security National Bank opened locations in Dallas and Des Moines. By 2023, both markets had loan production offices, and the company now operates with approximately 240 team members. The bank has doubled in size in assets over the past seven years while maintaining its founding culture.

“We wake up every day and think about our own families and about our teammates and their families and our customers and their families, and it’s kind of why we love what we do,” Landen said.

Small business banking remains the company’s foundation though many of those early relationships have grown into larger commercial accounts.

“Small businesses (are) why we got into this business and why we love it,” Landen said. “The bank now offers a full suite of

MIDLANDS BUSINESS

services including commercial banking, mortgage, private wealth and trust services, with a national SBA lending team operating from Dallas.”

Standing by small businesses

When Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans became available during the pandemic, small businesses across the community faced an uncertain future. Security National Bank responded with 40 to 50 team members voluntarily working extended hours to process applications and help businesses survive. After serving existing customers, the bank focused on helping small businesses in underserved areas including womenowned and minority-owned businesses that struggled to access support elsewhere. Nebraska achieved among the best PPP performance nationally by percentage.

Five years later, the impact remains visible through strong customer retention and loyalty.

“I think in our business, you really show what kind of partner you are when things are tough,” Landen noted. “That’s why we love what we get to do, because we just get to hear everybody’s ideas and try to see if we can help them facilitate a pathway to go chase their professional dreams.”

Looking forward

The bank recently navigated a significant leadership transition, with three C-level executives possessing more than 100 years of combined experience retiring within eight months.

“We really have a 50- and 100-year vision,” Landen said, “and that’s, I think, really exciting.”

The focus remains on incremental improvement and expanded service to small businesses and the communities they call home, proving that family values and business success aren’t mutually exclusive, just as Mickey envisioned more than 60 years ago.

Maintaining a Healthy Balance

MIDLANDS BANKS SEEK RIGHT COMBINATION OF HIGH TECH, HIGH TOUCH

Community bankers strive to be proactive partners, not just lenders.

Midlands bank executives say the most successful players in the future of banking will be those that continue to offer the right combination of the latest technology tools consumers demand with the person-to-person expertise they need.

“Customer behavior continues to evolve,” said Clay Barker, regional presidentOmaha with Northwest Bank. “A big challenge will be to offer traditional banking products through technology versus in-person interactions. Younger generations prefer to use technology to handle most things, so we need to adapt and be ready when they need those traditional banking products.

- GARY SEEGER, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, COMMERCIAL BANKING, ACCESSBANK

“As an industry we must find new and efficient ways to meet our customers where they are. In some cases that is done through technology and in others it is done through an in-person visit. We have to invest in technology, facilities and people that make banking easier for our customers, whatever their preference.”

Barker said this evolving marketplace will likely demand different skills from bank employees, skills that go beyond traditional business and finance degrees — or any other academic discipline, for that matter.

“Those traditional degrees are a good starting point but the skill that has always been valuable, and I believe will be in the future, is the ability to build relationships,” he said. “People who are good at building relationships, whether that’s through technology or in person, will continue to be a soughtafter asset.”

Barker also stressed that while technology can provide a wealth of back office and customer-facing efficiencies, it can’t by itself overcome all of the operational pressures banks are under right now.

“Higher interest rates and inflation have slowed economic activity for businesses, investors and households. That translates into fewer opportunities to lend in our communities and more stress on our customers,” he said. “It has also increased the cost of operating a We have to make the necessary adjustments in this environment to continue to thrive.”

New tools, fresh challenges

Banking is a far cry from what it was 20, 30 or 50 years ago, with consumers demanding nearly unfettered access to their money around the clock, 365 days a year. This has given rise to an entirely new industry — fintech — which has not only kept institutions on their toes regarding the latest and greatest tools but has partnered with banks to develop this new technology.

Maintaining a Healthy Balance

MIDLANDS BANKS SEEK RIGHT COMBINATION OF HIGH TECH, HIGH TOUCH

Banking in smaller communities is fundamentally shaped by personal connection and community collaboration.

- LISA PACZOSA, DIRECTOR, BRANCH BANKING, FNBO

Nowhere is that more true in the country than right here in the Cornhusker State.

“Nebraska banks are increasingly collaborating with fintechs to offer digital lending, real-time payments, and personalized banking experiences,” said Allen Chaffee, chief banking officer for Cornhusker Bank. “Nebraska is positioning itself as a Midwest fintech leader, with strong talent, supportive legislation and growing investor interest.

“Fintech partnerships are helping Nebraska banks reach underserved populations, especially in rural areas, through mobile banking and embedded finance. Nebraska’s proactive stance on fintech regulation, particularly regarding stablecoins and AI ethics, could make it a model for other states and attract more financial innovation.”

Chaffee does not envision the end of one-on-one in-person banking, but sees a future where banks offer a variety of platforms by which clients can do business. He classified three main components of such a hybrid service platform as physical, service and AI-driven.

“Physical banking offers a hybrid model combining digital convenience with physical presence. Branches become advisory hubs rather than transaction centers, improving customer engagement and reducing operational costs,” he said. “With service banking, banks are partnering with service providers to enhance and improve

bank experience and functionality, shifting from only being service destinations to service enablers, expanding reach and relevance.

“Finally, AI-driven banking experiences are tailored to individual behaviors and life stages. AI and machine learning power predictive insights, financial coaching and proactive alerts. This has the potential to deepen customer relationships and boost loyalty through relevance and trust.”

Outside city limits

The service picture is further complicated by location as banks must fine-tune their offerings from community to community and even among branch locations.

“Banking in smaller communities is fundamentally shaped by personal connection and community collaboration,” said Lisa Paczosa, director of branch banking with First National Bank of Omaha. “Bankers know customers by name and often remember details of their financial situations off the top of their head. It is common for our bankers to serve grandparents, parents and children from the same family, knowing how each family member connects.

“At FNBO, our employees have deep personal relationships with their customers, and it is not unusual for us to see our customers out in the community outside of banking hours. We are proud to serve the community that we live in and call home. The relationships we build with customers extend far beyond just their banking and when customers know that their banker is truly invested in their success and is looking out for them, they trust them as a financial advisor.”

Paczosa said beyond cultural expectations, doing business in rural Nebraska offers the same general challenges and opportunities as doing business in the big city, starting with labor.

“Attracting and retaining talent in smaller communities can be difficult,” she said. “We see this challenge at FNBO and across the state of Nebraska as a whole. FNBO focuses on competitive pay and benefits, opportunities for advancement and job flexibility to attract individuals who are excited to serve their small-town communities.

“The agricultural community and economy are always at the forefront of our minds, as well as interest rates. FNBO invests heavily in our local communities to ensure that we are meeting the needs of our customers and community alike. FNBO’s recent Impact Grant cycle awarded $1.14 million to 53 organizations across Nebraska and western Iowa who are working to strengthen the communities we call home.”

Shelter in a storm

Another measurement of any bank is how it treats its customers who are in difficult situations. Depressed farm prices, higher interest rates, natural disasters and global pandemics have all taken their toll on the banking public in recent years and the banks that have met these market challenges with customer-centric policies and

programs often gain a leg up when it comes to customer loyalty.

“At many community banks, the approach is different from what you might find at larger institutions,” said Gary Seeger, senior vice president, commercial banking with ACCESSbank. “Rather than directing clients to a separate department, relationship managers often work directly with business owners when challenges arise. They know the business personally, they are invested in its success, and they care about the people behind it.

“That personal connection becomes a real differentiator in difficult times. Business owners can take comfort in knowing the same banker who celebrated their wins is also there to help them navigate challenges, with empathy and commitment.”

Seeger said this approach helps bankers assist clients that may be headed for or working their way out of financial difficulty, offering strategies and advice to keep a

- ALLEN CHAFFEE, CHIEF BANKING OFFICER, CORNHUSKER BANK

situation from going bad to worse.

“Community bankers strive to be proactive partners, not just lenders,” he said.

“It is common for them to check in with clients to review cash flow, share tools that make it easier to manage payables and receivables and provide financing options designed to bridge temporary gaps.

“When a business faces a financial crisis, community banks can often restructure or extend repayment terms to relieve pressure and give owners more time to recover. Just as importantly, they frequently connect business owners with trusted accountants, advisers, or local resources who can offer additional guidance. The goal is for clients to feel supported, with their banker standing alongside them until things turn around.”

You have a lot of sweat equity in your business. And it’s growing — really growing. So when it’s time to seize opportunities or tackle challenges that come with expanding, trust the local business banking experts at UBT to customize financing that fits your needs. Whatever’s next for your business, we’re here to help make it happen.

Cool Office Spaces Balance Design

CREATING WORKSPACES WITH PURPOSE, PRACTICALITY

BY BRANDI LONG FRANK | PHOTOGRAPHY CONTRIBUTED

A ‘cool’ space starts with the energy of your office. If leadership doesn’t cultivate a welcoming space and mentality, no matter how cool it looks, there will always be a missing element.

-

WILL GUSTAFSON, CONSTELLATION COLLECTIVE

Office design is no longer just about cubicles, desks and decor; it has become a critical part of how companies attract talent, build culture and connect with clients. As more employees split their time between home and office, the physical workplace has had to evolve into something more flexible, more intentional and more “human.”

Across the Midlands, businesses, architects and designers are rethinking how spaces function, look and feel, creating environments that inspire productivity while also reflecting brand identity and values. Younger generations are also influencing change, demanding office settings that balance collaboration with autonomy and wellness with efficiency.

From open-concept layouts and acoustical design to wellnessfocused materials and modular flexibility, today’s coolest office spaces are less about flashy aesthetics and more about cultivating environments where people thrive.

Culture first

For Will Gustafson, chief revenue officer at Constellation Collective, the foundation of any office starts with culture.

“A ‘cool’ space starts with the energy of your office,” Gustafson said. “It is one thing to have a well-designed office, but it’s another thing to have a place that employees want to be in. Our business requires a high degree of collaboration, and our open concept caters to that. If leadership doesn’t cultivate a welcoming office space and mentality, then no matter how cool your space looks there will always be a missing element.”

That mindset has shaped the company’s approach to design. The firm offers a flexible hybrid schedule — employees can work remotely two days a week — but when they are in the office, Gustafson said the space is designed to encourage movement and choice.

“Flexibility and variability of space is a key component here,” he said. “We don’t want employees to feel glued to their desk. Our entire team migrates around the office regularly. We want everyone to feel empowered to find and use the space that feels best for them.”

Interior designers see similar priorities across the industry. Karie Boggs, designer at Interiors Joan and Associates, said commercial projects differ significantly from residential design, with a greater emphasis on brand identity, codes and client experience.

Commercial design has more of a focus on function, brand identity and a completely different set of codes and regulations.

“Residential design is focused more on individual comfort and personality of clients,” Boggs said. “Commercial design has more of a focus on function, brand identity and a completely different set of codes and regulations.”

Boggs said commercial design requires balancing two distinct audiences: employees who spend long stretches of time in the office, and clients who may only visit briefly but form impressions based on what they see.

“Employees need a space where a longer time is spent needing functional spaces, whereas a client who is there for a shorter time relates more to the experience a space can provide,” she said.

Lighting and acoustics are especially important, she added, because they shape how people feel in a space. Hard surfaces paired with softer materials can help with sound absorption, while colors and reflective finishes can make a space feel larger and brighter.

Recent years have also brought a shift toward wellnessfocused design. Beyond sustainability, Boggs said today’s commercial spaces must also consider air quality, sound management and even psychological impact. Paints with low VOCs, antimicrobial flooring, and modular layouts that allow airflow and flexibility are becoming standard.

Creating spaces with purpose

At Sheppard’s Business Interiors (SBI), the focus is on how environments serve the people who use them. The firm works with architects and organizations across industries to bring both functionality and meaning into workplace and institutional design.

“Our work is about creating environments that inspire, support and empower people,” said Max Huerter, business development at SBI. “It’s not just about furniture; it’s about understanding who will use a space and how to make their daily lives better.”

That people-first philosophy has been reflected in recent projects. In Gretna, SBI partnered with TACKarchitects on United Republic Bank’s expansion, where every furniture selection was made to create a sense of welcome. One highlight is the boardroom, intentionally designed to be open to community groups after hours.

“We couldn’t be prouder to be part of this meaningful, community-driven project,” Max Huerter said.

We couldn’t be more proud to be part of this meaningful, community-driven project.

At the Madonna Ability Alliance, the firm collaborated with Madonna, BCDM Architects and The Lund Company to design a facility that helps young adults with special needs transition into independent living. Spaces were tailored to life skills training and community engagement with flexible areas that could adapt to student needs.

SBI partnered with Alley Poyner Macchietto and Wayne State University on Stearns Hall, selecting furnishings for dorm suites and gathering spaces that emphasized comfort and functionality.

“Working together like this is what makes these projects so meaningful,” Huerter said.

Both leaders and designers point to younger employees as a driving force in shaping workplace design.

- MAX HUERTER, SHEPPARD’S BUSINESS INTERIORS

“Younger employees are demanding flexibility and trust,” Gustafson said. “It is less about the physical offerings within your workspace and more about treating humans like humans.”

Boggs added that younger workers are also influencing material and technology

decisions. From collaborative lounges with built-in charging stations to conference rooms equipped for seamless video calls, design increasingly reflects a hybrid-first world.

“Asking the right questions from the corporation or client to understand the end goal should be top of the list,” she said. “What is important to the client, from employee satisfaction to customer experience, should always be the focus of how the

design comes together.”

Beyond supporting employees, office spaces are also a front door for a company’s brand. Constellation Collective often hosts clients in its office, where collaboration and culture are visible in real time.

“We often get clients offering to come meet in our space as opposed to at their own office,” Gustafson said. “We also impress clients with the collaboration that can be witnessed the moment you walk in.”

SBI’s work with United Republic Bank underscores that same principle: design that leaves a strong first impression while also serving community needs.

Looking ahead

As companies weigh new trends, experts say the most important factor is still people.

“Constellation Collective is 36 years old, and we have succeeded through all sorts of trends in branding and design,” Gustafson said. “While we like to pay attention to

shifting trends, the most important thing will continue to be the human element. The biggest investment you can make in your company is in your people.”

Boggs agreed that spaces should be designed for growth and longevity, not just immediate impact.

“Selections can be tailored to the needs for brand recognition to maintainable

surfaces to create a successful space for all to enjoy,” she said.

At SBI, that philosophy remains central. “Whether it’s fostering community connection, supporting wellness or inspiring growth, we want to design spaces that truly make a difference in people’s lives,” Huerter said.

CREDIT UNIONS

BY DWAIN HEBDA

We are all working on going slow to move fast with all of the opportunities AI presents.

- AMY MCGILLAN, SVP MEMBER EXPERIENCE AND OPERATIONS, PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION

Credit unions have been in business in the United States since the early days of the 20th century, offering citizens an option in maintaining their financial health. As nonprofit financial cooperatives, credit unions have long touted themselves more focused on individual members’ needs and issues over profit or stock price, returning earnings to members in the form of lower loan rates, higher savings rates and reduced fees.

As the Omaha metro eclipses the 1 million population mark, industry leaders say the model is more important and faces more opportunity than ever.

“The opportunities of credit unions are truly embedded in their structure of being notfor-profit, member owned. That allows them to be the trusted financial partner of so many

People Helping People

members across Nebraska,” said Brandon Luetkenhaus, president of the Nebraska Credit Union League made up of 50 credit unions in Nebraska representing 570,000 members throughout the state.

“It allows them to offer products and services that meet those members where they need the credit union to meet them. We have credit unions that are known for serving folks of modest means, but they serve everybody who’s in their field of membership.”

That member-focused strategy was recently front and center with the NCUL’s announcement on Oct. 8 that its member credit unions would be rolling out various types of assistance and support for individual members who were government employees and struggling under the current shutdown.

“As the state trade association, we’re the chief advocacy arm for credit unions in the state so we’re very cognizant and up to date with what’s going on in government, both state and federal,” Luetkenhaus said. “As the shutdown was looming, we were reaching out to our credit unions, asking them if the shutdown occurs what services, products and offerings will you be making to your members who might be affected by this.

“Credit unions are very cognizant of the fact that their members could be affected by this government shutdown and so they were already looking for ways to provide them financial assistance during what would be a very stressful time for members and their families.”

Changing marketplace

Credit unions may have a radically different structure compared to banks, but from a competitive standpoint face many of the same demands for convenience and services. One such area is the ongoing balancing act financial institutions must maintain between high touch and high tech.

“Financial services will continue the current trend of becoming increasingly frictionless in digital delivery channels, including faster payments,” said Renee Christoffer, president and CEO of Veridian Credit Union. “While physical branch spaces may decrease in square footage, they’ll remain an important resource for trusted, face-to-face guidance and education.

“Veridian is set apart by our ability to offer three important characteristics in a trusted financial partner: digital convenience, local presence and incomparable value. We have a strong digital offering with in-house development teams and a network of 32 Midwest branches, including six in the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro area. We’re also ranked in the top 1% of credit unions in the country for returning value to our members.”

In addition to its variety of delivery platforms, members today are also looking for diversity of financial products, something Steve Swanstrom, president and CEO of Centris Federal Credit Union pointed to as a real opportunity.

“One area of opportunity for Centris is helping small businesses with their loan and deposit needs,” he said. “We are using AI and automation to streamline processes and improve the banking experience for small business members. We are also working to introduce a new online loan application and account opening system that will significantly improve both experiences.

“We embrace technology to help enhance our member experience, though not as a replacement for service. By integrating AI and exploring fintech partnerships, we’re able to deliver faster and more personalized experiences while maintaining the trust and personal touch that defines us as a credit union.”

Technology also presents today’s credit union with some fundamental challenges, from cost

to implement to the education required to train employees. However, as Amy McGillan, senior vice president of member experience and operations for Pentagon Federal Credit Union noted, the base skill set for the right personnel hasn’t changed.

“Key skills we have identified to differentiate our services are compassion, creative solutioning and willingness to change,” she said. “So many experiences have been automated but when there is a member involved, we need to find the right solution to solve their concern

and simplify their life.”

McGillan said the encroachment of AI is a prime example of how the credit union puts people over automation.

“Technology is changing so rapidly; it is about finding teammates who care enough to own an issue through resolution for our members,” she said. “AI provides so many opportunities to respond to inquiries and anticipate needs more effectively. It also has a great deal of risk. We

are all working on going slow to move fast with all of the opportunities AI presents.”

Swanston agreed, saying his institution has been conscious in developing a hybrid platform that allows the member to decide how best to do business and interact with their credit union.

“At Centris, we see a model emerging that blends enhanced digital capabilities with strategic branch expansion for our members who prefer an in-person experience,” he said. “We believe the delivery model of the future will empower our members to choose how they engage with Centris, whether through mobile apps, virtual consultations or in-person experiences, while allowing the credit union to operate more efficiently and responsively.

“Omaha’s growth is a catalyst for expansion and innovation. AI-driven tools are already revolutionizing our loan approval process, making the process significantly faster for our members.

Looking to the future

Christoffer agreed that Omaha’s population milestone has opened an entirely new frontier of opportunity which she said enables credit unions to stay competitive in the marketplace by

remaining nimble and responsive to both member needs and market conditions.

“We’re currently in a decreasing rate environment, which will create more opportunities for low-cost borrowing,” she said. “While Omaha has grown, so has our branch footprint in the area so we’re well-positioned to connect with more Omahans and be their partner in creating a successful financial future. The rapid pace of technology is also an exciting challenge.

“With population increases come broader variations in member demand for wideranging product and services. At Veridian, we pride ourselves on meeting every member where they are, including their economic circumstances, stage of life and preferred service delivery channels. We’re excited for the chance to show more people in Omaha the difference that a not-for-profit, cooperative structure makes in a partner that’s helping you make financial choices.”

As Luetkenhaus noted, this creative and innovative spirit is nothing new but has been a consistent thread running through generations of credit union operations.

“Credit unions in the United States were really made for times of financial stress such as recessions or the current government shutdown,” he said. “In times like those, where a situation or market condition impacts the finances of a family, credit unions are there to step up and help their members through those times.”

A CONVERSATION WITH COBALT CREDIT UNION’S ROBIN LARSEN

Robin Larsen has dedicated 37 years to Cobalt Credit Union, rising from branch manager to president and CEO. In this Q&A, she discusses the credit union’s commitment to serving military families, embracing digital transformation and expanding financial access.

MBJ: You’ve been a part of Cobalt for more than three decades. What drew you to the credit union and what made you want to stay?

RL: I started in banking at age 16 through a high school internship. I’ve stayed at Cobalt — formerly SAC Federal Credit Union, named after Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Force Base — because of how we impact our members.

The credit union slogan is “people helping people,” and we truly make a difference through all life events. We help members through financial counseling, establishing credit, buying their first car and home. We have a lot of longevity among employees here because of our culture.

MBJ: Can you share an example of how you’ve helped a member?

RL: I had a member with credit card debt at about a 32% interest rate. We did a personal loan, reducing his rate from 32% to 8%. That saved him $1,500 a month in payments. We provided financial counseling to help him establish a budget.

We also had a member who didn’t know what a home equity loan could do. We helped the family get a home equity loan and they paid off credit card debts (which had) high interest rates.

We start early: we have a Baby Bundle account, a Dollar Dog account, a Student Spend account. It’s about being in the community with everybody we serve.

MBJ: What moments have been the most transformative in your career?

RL: I served as a branch manager for 17 years, then moved into chief operations officer for 17 years, overseeing all the branches. Having had that experience really gave me the foundation to ease into my current position as CEO. It was a big change, shifting my focus from internal execution to strategic vision and external leadership. I also have a good team that supports me — I couldn’t do it without them.

MBJ: What changes in the banking industry surprised you?

RL: I remember the first ATM machine when it was rolled into the bank lobby. I thought, “Who is going to use that?” Everything back in the day was face to face. The interactive teller machines were a big game changer. We had those installed before COVID-19. It’s human interaction where staff at our headquarters serve members via video banking. They can cash a check to the penny and it also serves as an ATM.

Another change is the digital transformation where people can do their banking from their bedroom slippers. When COVID-19 hit, we already had the ITM channel. People would call us from the mobile app and we were able to serve them, do a loan application, transfer money, open accounts.

MBJ: You recently launched a new home banking system. What role does digital transformation play in the future of community-based credit unions?

RL: Digital transformation is about more than just technology. Everyone is looking for speed of service and if organizations don’t have that, they’re going to go somewhere that does.

BY DAISY HUTZELL-RODMAN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DEBRA S. KAPLAN

Digital transformation is about more than just technology. Everyone is looking for speed of service and if organizations don’t have that, they’re going to go somewhere that does.

For community-based credit unions, it means blending that personal relationship into the digital transformation. We have many options where a member can do it on their own, or we can guide them through it.

I just had a member last week handwrite a letter thanking us for helping him adapt to our new technology. The human connection is still very important; they want to know that if they call, they can get a human here in Nebraska.

MBJ: The ITIN lending program opened the door for immigrants and international students. What motivated you to take that step?

RL: We have two branches in south Omaha and a branch in Denison, Iowa. We were seeing people come in who didn’t have a Social Security number and they needed to be served. They work here in the United States and no one gave them a chance.

We did a deep dive into the ITIN, which is an individual taxpayer identification number. We saw a huge need. It was an opportunity where other banks were not doing it. We’ve been in it for several years now and we have a loyal group of members who are thankful we were there for them.

We’re the credit union at Creighton University and we see a lot of international students who need U.S. dollars to go to school here. Everyone deserves the opportunity to build financial stability.

MBJ: The SAC Foundation recently donated $25,000 to help a veteran keep his home. Tell me about that experience.

RL: I need to clarify: Cobalt donated $12,500 and then the Strategic Air Command (SAC) Foundation donated $12,500, so that’s how we got to $25,000.

When the story aired, I knew we had to do something because we’re right here for our military and veterans. The story aired on a Tuesday; by Wednesday, we had raised the money through the Papillion Community Foundation’s fundraiser. They did an additional fundraiser and they ended up raising over $100,000. It was just that community spirit.

We didn’t do it for any glory. That’s our purpose: to help everybody. We get hundreds of requests for donations a month. We sit down and go through how each request fits with our SAC Foundation.

MBJ: What’s the biggest challenge for credit unions that industry leaders are not talking about enough today?

RL: It’s really important to stay abreast of all fraud. We’ve seen a huge increase in that. We’ve seen an increase in elder abuse where someone has taken advantage of the elderly. We’re the watchdog for our members’ accounts. We’ve had members wire money to someone they didn’t know because it was a romance scam.

The fintech competition — there’s fintech for everything. Keeping pace with evolving member expectations is always going to be a challenge. If you aren’t relevant and don’t take care of your members, it needs to be top of mind. AI could get in the way of that, so you need to provide human connection.

MBJ: What do you wish somebody would ask you about your business?

RL: I’m often asked, “What is a credit union?” Anyone can join. I just wish more people knew the benefits. Our rates are better for our loans, they’re better for deposits.

We’ve done a huge move toward helping people who used to go to check-cashing places where they would pay 450% interest to cash a check ahead of their payday. Thankfully, a lot of them are shut down in Nebraska because of a legislative bill that passed three or four years ago.

- ROBIN LARSEN

We’re also in commercial lending, so we do big business loans and business accounts. That’s an area we’ve been shifting focus on. Right now that’s a big goal — to get the word out to help people who own a business. These loans could be $5 million, $10 million. It pays to shop around.

VAN DEEB FOUNDER, PRIME HOME REALTY AUTHOR, MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

Success is Personal FOR VAN DEEB TRUE SUCCESS EQUALS HELPING OTHERS

There are a lot of definitions by which an individual can be regarded as a success and Van Deeb meets almost every one of them. A self-made entrepreneur, he built an enviable career in residential real estate that has more recently evolved into motivational speaking and authorship.

One gets a much different view of success, however, when taken from the man himself. For Deeb, it has never been about the number of deals done or the size of the commission check, important though those are. Instead, the Kearney-born, Omaha-raised entrepreneur distills his life in business to the impact he has been able to have on others, something that started with DEEB Realty, which he launched after returning home from years of successful real estate sales in Dallas.

“I opened my own company, and I was going to keep it super small, just me, myself and I,” he said. “Then I met some agents who wanted to jump on board and before I know it, I had 50 agents, 100, 200, 300, 400, and DEEB Realty is the largest independent real estate firm in the Midwest.”

Ironically, it was at this height of conventional success that Deeb gained his perspective on what really spoke to his soul as a businessman, something

incongruous with the company he’d built and grown.

“In 2009 I sold it and the reason I sold it is the intimacy of a small company was gone,” he said. “I’d run into people at restaurants and they’d come up and say hi and I’d say hello, but I didn’t know who they were, and they would tell me they worked for my company. That’s not who I am; I’m a very personable, caring person.

I didn’t like it anymore.

“My general manager had helped me grow the company, he was an incredible person and he wanted to own his own company, so it was perfect timing to pass the baton.”

Deeb likely could not have imagined such an epiphany growing up. Raised on modest means as the youngest of five children in a family of, he said, “teachers and preachers and businesspeople,” his formative years were that of a rebellious overachiever. He attended the University of Nebraska Omaha where he was a member of the football team, drifting to Dallas after graduation more or less for the change of scenery.

BY DWAIN HEBDA | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROGER HUMPHRIES

I would always thank God that I had a career where I couldn’t wait to go to work every day. My work ethic carried me from there.

“I was not sure what I wanted to do. I just knew I wanted to get away since I stayed home for college,” he said. “I didn’t know I wanted to get into real estate until I got to Dallas and that’s where I decided I’m going to go to real estate school.

“Dallas, Texas, was the number one real estate market in the United States at that time and I thought, ‘I’m going to get my feet wet here and then go back to Omaha in a year or so.’ That turned into being there for 10 years.”

Deeb joined a residential real estate firm and began the process of building a clientele. He liked the work and was good at it but the early days were as hungry for him as any newcomer — or more so.

“My biggest asset was my work ethic, my biggest difficulty was I knew no one,” he said. “When you get into real estate, the first thing we tell new agents is call anybody and everybody you’ve ever met, family, friends, everybody. Those are the people that you need to concentrate on to help get the word out about you. Well, I knew no one so I had to work twice as hard as somebody that was from Dallas.

“I waited tables to feed myself while I was building my career. I had no money, and I didn’t come from a family with money that I could call and say, ‘Send money, I can’t eat.’ I was very motivated and I was very blessed and I would always thank God that I had a career where I couldn’t wait to go to work every day. My work ethic carried me from there.”

His persistence would pay off in spades as Deeb would achieve what he called “a really amazing level of success” in Dallas, earning more than 100 awards for sales performance along the way. He came back home in 1993 for family reasons and soon launched his own company, which in time would be sold and become Nebraska Realty.

After the sale, Deeb had the resources to do anything he wanted to do including nothing at all. Naturally, he decided to get right back on the firing line.

“I’m not retirement material. I retired for about 25 minutes,” he said with a droll chuckle. “I loved motivational speaking; one of my favorite things in life is to help somebody else move their needle. I was going to concentrate on just motivational speaking, be a broker, do my own thing, but I decided to open up a little teeny company called Big Omaha Realty and I purposely kept the company, me, myself, and I.

“Later on down the road in 2022, I decided to start another company called Prime Home Realty and we’ve kept it small, intimate and boutique. When I say small, we only have 34 agents and we don’t want more than 50.”

The smaller size allows Deeb to connect with his team in ways he never could in the latter days of DEEB Realty, to the delight of the founder.

- VAN DEEB

“We’re a family, we’re a true family,” he said. “The last three years, we’ve had family dinners at my house once every couple of months, everybody brings a covered dish. That’s what I’ve always wanted.

“I never wanted to be a gigantic firm. That’s not my small-town upbringing. I get emotional sometimes when I look around the room and see all these people who love each other, and I just couldn’t be happier.”

Timing is Everything GET READY FOR CHARITABLE GIVING NOW SPONSORED content

BY THE OMAHA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

As November approaches, advisers know that timing is everything when it comes to year-end charitable giving. Strategic planning now can help your clients and their communities maximize both impact and tax benefits of charitable giving before the holiday rush.

Timing and tax efficiency

The final weeks of the year account for a significant share of giving. Nonprofits typically raise 17 to 20% of their annual revenue in December, with the last three days alone accounting for about 10%, according to fundraising research from Nonprofit Tech For Good. Getting gifts in early, before Giving Tuesday, offers more breathing room for donors who want to avoid the year-end crunch.

Giving Tuesday and beyond

Giving Tuesday, which falls on Dec. 2 this year, generated $3.6 billion in the United States in 2024, up 16% from the previous year, with more than 36 million participants per the Associated Press. While the day is an important giving moment, it represents only part of the broader season.

The Omaha Community Foundation and SHARE Omaha are working together this year to encourage donors to give earlier, combining philanthropic

forces to get more dollars into the community sooner. The goal is to make the holidays less stressful for both donors and nonprofits.

“Giving Tuesday is a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together,” said Teresa Mardesen, executive director of SHARE Omaha. “Collective giving at the local level strengthens nonprofits and neighborhoods, and giving early allows organizations to plan for and meet holiday needs more effectively.”

Strategic giving

Advisers can work with the Omaha Community Foundation to establish a fund with a tax-deductible contribution now and advise grants later, providing both flexibility and efficiency. Gifts of cash or other assets can simplify giving for clients and offer immediate tax benefits for 2025.

“Too often, people think of charitable giving only in terms of cash,” said Donna Kush, president and CEO of the Omaha Community Foundation. “In reality, non-cash assets such as closely held stock, real estate, farmland or even life insurance policies can be some of the most tax-efficient ways to give.

“These contributions not only provide donors with significant tax benefits but also unlock new resources for nonprofits doing critical work in our community.”

THE BLOC BRIDGES GENERATIONS BY SERVING SENIORS AND YOUTH

BY KARA SCHWEISS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DEBRA S. KAPLAN

When nonprofit organization The Bloc was launched in April of 2020, the founders simply wanted to help the community as the COVID-19 pandemic emerged. CEO and founding board member Dina Becirovic said that meant responding swiftly as needs arose.

“When we were starting out, we were really being more reactive to the conditions or the situations that were happening at the time,” she said. “It began with us doing something that matters and giving a hand to people that were in a precarious situation, because a lot of people lost their jobs and that was really the purpose in the beginning.

“We did a lot of work with the community; we provided 15,000 meals (to seniors), distributed over 10,000 protective masks and offered over 1,500 hours of mental health support.”

A bridge between generations

However, as the organization celebrates its fifth anniversary year, its services and focus look very different. The Bloc matured, evolved and found its niche serving youth and seniors, Becirovic said.

“The Bloc is a bridge between generations, a place where youth and elders come together to mentor, learn and grow alongside one another,” she said. “Through the Personal Board of Directors, we cultivate intentional circles of guidance and support that shape lives personally and professionally. Our Bloc Builders: Youth for Youth program empowers young people to tackle real challenges, create solutions, and develop the leadership, problem-solving and advocacy skills to make a meaningful difference.”

The organization also celebrates its two key demographics, seniors and young people, through its 50 Over 50 Nebraska awards recognizing individuals who continue to lead, serve and inspire beyond the age of 50; and 20 Under 20 Nebraska, which honors bright young minds and rising stars throughout the state who have yet to reach the age of 20.

“What we started more as a reaction to what was happening in the world became a purpose and a vision to do more than just provide services, but to teach people how to navigate some of the life challenges … to be more confident and to recognize their

A lot of times youth and seniors exist in separate silos. We wanted to create a space that honored the wisdom and nurtured the new leadership at the same time.

self-worth so they are able to build and rise and lead,” Becirovic said.

“How better to do that than to create that intergenerational relationship with people who already have gone through that part of life? A lot of times youth and seniors exist in separate silos. We wanted to create a space that honored the wisdom and nurtured the new leadership at the same time.”

Dedication and collaboration

There is much to be proud of in just five years since the organization’s founding, Becirovic said.

“The Bloc has touched the lives of over 11,810 individuals and partnered with 48 incredible organizations to amplify our work across the state,” she said. “(We have) organized events that brought together over 2,100 participants building bridges and fostering belonging. We’ve also launched a youth leadership cohort of 10 powerful young voices — Personal Board of Directors — already creating ripples of change in their communities.

“Each of these accomplishments has been made possible through the dedication and collaboration of our partners, who help The Bloc extend its reach and impact across Nebraska.”

Becirovic said she sees even bigger things ahead.

“Over the next five years, I envision The Bloc as a transformative force across Nebraska where emerging leaders are empowered, wisdom is celebrated, and generations are truly connected,” she said. “Beyond our cornerstone programs, 50 Over 50 Nebraska and 20 Under 20 Nebraska, we will foster a lasting culture that honors experience, nurtures potential and inspires everyone to contribute to a stronger, more unified community.

“Ultimately, The Bloc will be more than an organization; it will be a movement, shaping how communities value wisdom, uplift youth, and weave generations together for enduring impact.”

Who’s got it better than us? Nobody!

The Harbaughs are a family of successful football coaches. The father, Jack, was the head coach at the University of Iowa from 1971 to 1973 and later at Western Michigan and Western Kentucky. His two sons, John and Jim, are both NFL head coaches currently with impressive resumes and accomplishments. However, the family’s finances were tight in their early years. While in Iowa City, they were sometimes without a car and had to walk to school in the cold. Never letting a coachable moment pass, Jack had his two sons practice dribbling a basketball on their school walk while asking them, “Who’s got it better than us?” John and Jim would respond, “Nobody!” It was a reminder to his kids to always be positive and grateful for their opportunities, however challenging the situation. Since then, it has become a family mantra and used by both Jim and John with their football teams.

We were reminded of this heartwarming story when we first saw the chart to the right, which shows how much economic progress the human race has made over a short period of time. However, it doesn’t always feel that way considering current circumstances. We’re a country that is divided politically, inflation remains stubbornly high, government debt is unsustainable, and there are growing concerns about future job losses caused by artificial intelligence. We could go on; certainly the media does.

While we have our challenges, the world has never been this good. According to HumanProgress.org, the world’s gross product grew just 0.3% between 1500 and 1820. Since then, it’s grown more than a hundredfold thanks to the Industrial Revolution. In 1820, 90% of humanity lived in extreme poverty. Today, less than 10% does. If global economic growth were to maintain the 2.8% average rate it has enjoyed since 2000, the world’s economy would rise by almost tenfold to $1.1 quadrillion by 2100.

We’ve never been this healthy and safe, either. During the past 200 years, global life expectancy has more than doubled from approximately 30 years to more than 72 years, according to the World Bank. Assuming the current trend continues implies a global average lifespan of 92 years by 2100. In 1800, 43% of children died before their fifth birthday; today, less than 4% do. Deaths from war or natural disasters

have fallen dramatically and more people live in democracies than ever before. Nearly 90% of the world’s population in 1820 was illiterate; now it’s just 13%.

Many investment talking heads seem overly focused on what is wrong with our world or what dangers lurk around the corner. They preach a long-term focus while scaremongering at the same time. This is rather self-serving since only they can navigate such looming hazards.

It’s just not true. Nobody has it better than us. Remember this the next time you run across a Chicken Little preaching the end is near.

ABBY FOGLE-ERICKSON, BEMIS CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTS COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE + ENGAGEMENT MANAGER

Midlands Leaders is a weekly section showcasing individuals who are making an impact in the community through their professional and volunteer endeavors. To nominate someone for this section, email news@mbj.com with the individual’s name, position, company and email.

Bio:

A native of Gretna, Abby Fogle-Erickson holds degrees in art history and journalism from Creighton University and a Masters in the History of Art from the Courtauld Institute in London. She began her career with the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in 2015 as an intern and gallery attendant, rejoining the organization following graduate school in 2018. Today, she serves as community experience and engagement manager.

Away from work, Fogle-Erickson has been active in the Greater Omaha Chamber’s Young Professionals program, where she was a member of YP Council from 2021 to 2023 and is currently the volunteering lead on the Chamber’s YP Leadership Committee. She’s also served as a board member on the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network of Greater Omaha and is a member of Amplify Art’s Community Advisory Committee.

What led you to your particular field?

I started undergrad planning to study journalism with the goal of working in fashion publishing. A family friend who worked in fashion recommended that I take art history courses to develop visual reference points for editorial work. That first art history class changed my perspective of the world and I realized that I wanted to pursue a career in the arts. I was lucky to have several internships throughout undergrad that shaped my skill set and work experience, including an internship at Bemis Center.

What are your job duties/responsibilities?

My role leads the development, execution and evaluation of Bemis Center’s engagement strategies to grow, steward and sustain audiences. There is a high level of collaboration across all of Bemis’ departments to support public programs, deepen community partnerships and create educational and interpretive activities. Ultimately, it is my job to be a community liaison to ensure an engaging, positive experience for our visitors, partners, volunteers, interns and artists.

What do you enjoy most about your work?

Talking about art and sharing about Bemis and its programs. I love giving tours and I love introducing Bemis to new audiences. Whether I’m speaking about

artwork or about Bemis’ residency program, there is typically a moment on the audience’s face when you can see the connections happening, and those are my favorite moments.

What are the biggest challenges you face in your work?

Even after 44 years, Bemis Center still faces something of an awareness issue outside of the artloving public. There are a handful of misconceptions about art, and particularly contemporary art, that lead people to believe that it’s not for them or that it will not

What is something a mentor told you that has been essential to your career?

Something that I try to keep in mind when it comes to my career — and life — is that there is no career fairy godmother coming to give you your dream job. Even if you are lucky to have amazing bosses or mentors, you have to advocate for yourself and build the path forward yourself. No one is better positioned to do those things for you than yourself.
