This year’s Officer of the Year Awards Luncheon will take place on Thursday, May 9th from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm at the Scott Conference Center, 6450 Pine Street, Omaha, 68106. Long-term supporters Clarence L. “C.L.” Landen, III, CEO, and James “Jim” E. Landen, Sr., Chairman, of Security National Bank, will serve as the Honorary Co-chairs for the 2024 Luncheon.

The 2023 Officer of the Year will be selected from among the honorees and one exceptional unit from within the Omaha Police Department will be recognized with the Foundation’s recently renamed McGowan Community Impact Award.
