Region 3 & 5, Metropolitan Community College, Omaha, NE

   Metropolitan Community College (MCC) in Omaha, Nebraska invites you to the Region 3 & 5 Annual Conference September 7^th – 9^th.

   We will start off taking some time catching up with old friends and making new friends with a social hour or two Sunday night September 7^th at the Courtyard Omaha/LaVista with hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar from 6 pm to 8 pm.

   On Monday morning, MCC will provide transportation from the Courtyard Hotel to our Fort Omaha Campus where we will have a light, but delicious breakfast at our state-of-the-art Institute for Culinary Arts. We will continue after breakfast with a presentation from one of MCC’s finest instructors on what other skills our students need to be successful in the transportation business besides driving skills. Bellevue University’s Director of the Military Veteran Services Center, JR Richardson will visit with us about some of the struggles our brave veterans face when hitting the road. He will be giving us ideas on how to better prepare them. He will be bringing with him a nutrition specialist that will give us ideas on how to keep our students healthy once they begin their careers. The Nebraska State Patrol Carrier Enforcement Division will be lending us their own Sgt Matt Guzman who has a fairly unique perspective from the state side of things having served over 10 years with the division. He currently ensures the data quality of inspections and crash records involving commercial motor vehicles and he receives ALL of the states DataQ’s so he is will versed on the things that happen in Nebraska and fields questions from Troopers and people in the industry on current guidance from FMCSA and CVSA. You will also get to meet and hear from Nebraska’s own Kent Grishom, President of the Nebraska Trucking Association.

   We will wrap things up on Monday with a quick tour of MCC’s Applied Technology Center which houses the CDL Program. After a short bus trip back to the hotel, get ready for something a little bit different. We will be dining at the Smash Park! There will be a laid-back dinner with an impressive taco bar and a lot of fun with axe throwing and darts.

   On Tuesday, we will be transported to Werner Enterprises for a presentation from the ATA and a viewing of their Workforce Heros truck and trailer.

See you in September!!!
