Has thinking about your strategy for recruiting and retaining talent become more important and urgent for your business in recent years?  
 
If so, you will want to register for a seat at the Nebraska Trailblazers Breakfast to be held on Friday, September 6, at the Delray 817 ballroom in the Haymarket. The breakfast program presents a unique and unparalleled opportunity to engage with the next generation of Nebraska's leaders while enjoying a locally catered breakfast.

The program includes:

  • Keynote Speaker: Dr. Tim Hodges, Executive Director of the Clifton Strengths Institute and Professor at the UNL College of Business to share insights on generational workforce development and how to harness the strengths of young professionals.
  • Opportunity for Networking and Direct Insights from GenZ panelists: Approximately 200 attendees including college students, young professionals, and local business representatives will come together to discuss what it takes to attract and retain young talent. Each table at the event will pair four business leaders with four high-achieving Nebraska students, providing a platform for valuable exchanges and insights.
  • Delicious Breakfast: Enjoy a classic breakfast menu while engaging in discussions that elevate young voices and equip your organization with talent recruitment, retention, and development strategies.


This event aims to address the Brain Drain issue in Nebraska by giving Generation Z a platform to express what might encourage them to stay in the state. Your participation will not only provide valuable insights but also contribute to strengthening Nebraska's workforce during a time of critical need.

We look forward to seeing you there! Business sponsorships available. Individual tickets may be purchased for $100/ticket to include sponsorship for one student attendee. This event is sponsored by the Foundry Community Foundation.

Monos in Oil
An Art Exhibition Presented by Javier Rivera
On Display Through August 31
Link, 2nd Floor Gallery

 
Monos in Oil is a captivating collection of monoprints created with oil paint and glass panes. The series features a diverse range of subject matter, from musicians to abstract portraits. 
 
This unique selection of oil paintings emerged alongside corresponding works on archival glass. The creative process is akin to monotype printmaking, focusing on the interplay between abstractions and illustrations of musicians. The emphasis lies more on the artistic technique—utilizing a brush, paint, glass, and physical pressure—than on the specific subjects themselves. The process was both innovative and enjoyable, exploring the potential of these materials and methods.
 
Javier Rivera is an artist based in Lincoln specializing in figurative painting and drawing. He earned his BFA from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2022. Javier has exhibited his work in various local and underground venues in Lincoln and his hometown of Omaha. He currently operates out of a studio in the Parrish Project building in downtown Lincoln.
 
To learn more about Javier and view additional work, please visit www.instagram.com/jriverart/.
 
This exhibit is free and open to the public daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
