Every year since 2006, the Empowerment Network has presented the State of North Omaha and State of African-Americans Summit. The annual event typically attracts 200-300+ residents and leaders to receive updates on trends and outcomes, celebrate progress made during the prior year, identify remaining gaps and discuss future plans. The qualitative and quantitative report features highlights, community priorities, collective strategies, data, trends and promising initiatives.
The report is used to assist partners and participants with making informed decisions based on real data and trends. The summit now includes reports from the Mayor, City Council, Douglas County Commissioners, State Senators and other leaders of strategic initiatives.
The 17th Annual State of North Omaha and State of African-Americans was held on Saturday, January 27th, 2024 at Metropolitan Community College. Over 300 were in attendance in-person or virtually.
