About AAO
All About Omaha is a local, non-profit comprised of young professionals
ages 21-40 who are looking to get involved both civically and socially
and enjoy all Omaha has to offer.
Our mission is simple; we want you to be involved! Omaha is an amazing
city with lots to do and so much more on the horizon. We work hard to
find and create events and opportunities for you to network and make a
difference. We focus primarily on Omaha awareness, community
involvement and leadership development and we think you’ll find just
about anything can fall into those categories.
Our Roots
Dana Cohn, a twenty-something native of Omaha and founder of AAO, found upon her return home from college that many of her friends had moved away. Perplexed as to why so few young professionals chose to stay in Omaha, Dana saw the need to create an organization that ultimately, would keep young professionals here. Dana found a void in organizations offering outlets and involvement for this age demographic both socially & civically. In September of 1998, Dana and a number of friends gathered to develop the mission and bylaws of a fledgling idea called All About Omaha. The goal was to incorporate a broad base of community components and appeal to as many people in their 20s and 30s as possible. In March of 1999, All About Omaha officially received 501(c)(3) status and began work on their vision. Since that time, AAO has recruited hundreds of members, in-kind and corporate partnerships, as well as a visible identity in the community. In fact, the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce has touted AAO as “the single leading initiative aimed at keeping young people engaged and participating in the community”.
