Spreetail ACQUISITION LEADS TO INNOVATIVE GROWTH IN LOGISTICS
Spreetail, one of the biggest names in e-commerce in Nebraska, has advanced its capabilities with the recent acquisition of Echo AI, an artificial intelligence platform that provides customer data insights to improve sales.
The Lincoln-headquartered company, which currently employs approximately 1,300, has offices in Lincoln, Omaha and the United Kingdom. Dubbed an e-commerce accelerator, Spreetail assists brands within online marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart.com and Target. com. It specializes in big and bulky, emphasizing expedited shipping for these items.
Journey to global
Spreetail got its start in 2006 refurbishing IBM computers and reselling them on eBay. The company expanded into logistics for new items and found new segments to grow the business.
“We noticed there were a lot of people searching online for inflatable spas that didn’t exist,” said CEO Joshua Ketter. “So we actually worked with brands to create those. That is a very large, multimillion dollar market that Spreetail effectively brought to market, particularly in the United States.”
Ketter took over the global CEO post this July, succeeding Brett Thome, who transitioned to a strategic support role. Following the transition, the company ensured it would remain in Silicon Prairie.
“It’s an important part of our DNA and our history, and I think it always will be,” Ketter said of its Nebraska homebase. “So that was the commitment that I made to the company, that we would continue to be a Nebraska-based corporation. There are not a lot of billion-dollar businesses in Nebraska, and so we certainly wear that badge with honor.”
In recent years, Spreetail has demonstrated its ability to expand globally. In 2021, after experiencing years of growth within the United States, the company went international. In 2022, it acquired Buy Box
We noticed there were a lot of people searching online for inflatable spas that didn’t exist. So we actually worked with brands to create those.
Experts, an Amazon seller marketing agency. In 2023, it successfully closed a $208 million funding round. The latest acquisition of Echo AI cements the company’s commitment to continued expansion and development.
Putting action into acquisition
“We started to acquire a lot of expertise, and one of our focuses for our brands is, how do we help them grow their businesses? We like to think of ourselves as their e-commerce team,” Ketter said. “When I looked at what Echo is doing, not just with their AI solution, but what their team is capable of doing, I noticed they built a product that gave product insights for R & D purposes back to brands.”
He said these capabilities give insights in real-time, allowing for modifications in listings on Amazon to make better assortment choices. These actionable insights can then help brands pull data from online reviews to fix defects or tout features that customers love, for instance.
One example is the Yakima, a roof cargo box for vehicles commonly used for transporting skis. Spreetail analyzed the products online with Echo AI.
“We realized that one of the most frequently cited things that customers loved was the fact that you actually get two keys to the locking mechanisms, and a lot of other products only had one, and if you lose that, well, there you go, right?” Ketter said. “It was something that we didn’t mention in the product benefits at all before. Being able to put that in our product descriptions, we enhanced our conversion in a meaningful way.”
He reiterated that heavy and bulky items are within an underserved market.
“Most of e-commerce is built around small items, and there’s not a lot for heavy, bulky items,” Ketter said.
Ketter’s resume gives a good indication he knows what he’s talking about. Having spent seven years at Amazon and three at Target in fulfillment and finance positions, he noted that Amazon, in particular, shies away from large items because they are not conveyable in its highly automated fulfillment facilities. In fact, he said, e-commerce corporations disincentivize online sales of large items. Home and garden, sports and outdoor retailers are often left with selling at higher costs than what consumers are willing to pay. By specializing in the big and bulky, Spreetail is able to drive down the costs.
- JOSHUA KETTER, CEO, SPREETAIL
“We’re certainly excited by the number of brands that are constantly reaching out to us looking for help,” he said. “We’re in a very large space. But I talk about our growth as a kind of a flywheel, and so for me, that flywheel is really just focused on adding value to the brands, which means I have to be able to grow their products online better than anybody else. So I’m going to continue to invest in things like Echo AI that help me do that.”
Tumultuous industry
Working within a global industry, Spreetail often faces new and varied challenges.
While short-lived, the port strike from the International Longshoremen’s Association has caused a ripple in logistics. Ketter noted that for each day of the strike, there is approximately a week’s worth of backlog, along with higher fees, which could lead to increased prices on goods.
An even larger and growing giant, the Chinese direct-to-consumer market has taken hold with more than 50% of the top sellers on Amazon being Chinese manufacturers, according to Marketplace Pulse.
“It’s something that’s an exciting opportunity for us, but it’s also changed the dynamic in a way,” Ketter said. “We’ve invested in hiring Mandarin speakers as well as teams over in mainland China and Hong Kong. It’s very difficult to navigate a large part of the e-commerce ecosphere nowadays because that’s been a meaningful shift that we’ve seen.”
Another challenging avenue is simply getting consumers’ eyes on a product in a crowded marketplace. Rather than organic search bringing the top results on Amazon, brands are now having to pay for advertising to get to the top of search results, creating a much more demanding environment.
“We have some proprietary systems that help us balance that and make sure that when it makes sense to pay to play, we’re doing that, and when it doesn’t, we’re able to show up in the top 10 search without it,” he said.
It’s clear Spreetail is in the position to expand in the current e-commerce market, and Ketter said the company won’t be slowing down anytime soon.
“Our goal is to be the world’s most brand-centric company, we’re going to continue to seize retail, doing some M&A, investing into AI capabilities, and making sure that we’ve got an ecosystem that disproportionately grows brands above the market,” he said.

Entrepreneurship After 65
VENTURES GROW IN POPULARITY
STALLINGS
“I started making cards and stationery and letterhead when I was in grade school,” Lea Beach said. “I’d sell a set with an envelope for 5 cents. People bought them.”
Beach always wanted to be an artist, but it wasn’t until later in life that she became an entrepreneur. After retiring at age 64, she founded Find the Creative You in Omaha, teaching painting.
Beach is representative of research indicating entrepreneurship in retirement offers an opportunity to pursue passions, maintain social connections, generate supplemental income and capitalize on experience.
An Edward Jones Age Wave study reports that 60% of retirees and pre-retirees say the ideal retirement mix includes leisure and work, while SCORE reveals that more than half of U.S. small business owners are age 50 or over.
Giving back
“The ages of our clients have continued to climb even in the past five years. People are interested in giving back and finding purpose as they age,” said Allan Hale, chapter chair, Greater Omaha SCORE.
Hale himself had three careers including ownership in the grocery industry for 25 years.
He bought his first store, Hinky Dinky, in 1985 with two partners at age 30, before purchasing two convenience stores at 36 and another with a partner at 49. For most of his career he was also working for another company, Hale said.
He was also president of the Fremont Area Chamber of Commerce and executive director of the National Electrical Contractors Association. Today, he mentors others.
Older business owners are better equipped to manage their business because they have experience and “are in a better position financially to weather the storms of business cycles,” Hale said.
Passion for painting and joy
Beach said she was always an entrepreneur, having started three other businesses, but it was always difficult to balance with a full-time job.
“When you’re working for somebody else eight hours a day, you don’t have an opportunity to do all the things you want to do,” she said.
After 21 years at Dex creating ads and later for Edward Jones, her focus began to shift toward planning a business and seeking a better way to teach beginners how to paint.
“I wanted something for the beginner, something for the totally inexperienced, and something for that artist who has talent,” Beach said. With encouragement from a friend and collaboration with the American Legion Post #1 in Omaha, she launched the business in 2022, regularly holding classes at the Legion and private lessons and classes at her home studio. Her husband plays a role in helping with materials and logistics.
Beach doesn’t see herself stopping because she loves teaching others to paint and seeing their joy.
“They tell me it’s enriched their creative life,” Beach said.
Discovered need, discovered love
In 2010 Mary Ann Stallings retired from Lincoln Public Schools where she was a 7th-grade math teacher.
“The next day I was out at the Lancaster County Event Center with the Women’s Expo and had a business,” she said. “You’ve got to be willing to take a risk if you’re going to do it.”
She founded Bridge to Better Living in her early 60s after experiencing the challenge of finding retirement and living resources for her own
family. This motivated her to create a business plan and research senior living options for others in Lincoln and Omaha. She continues leading the company today as president and CEO.
“By 2030, all the baby boomers are going to be 65 and older,” Stallings said. “We’re looking at between 74 and 75 million. I could see then that we would still have growth in the business down the road.”
Her family is part of the business, including her husband, son, daughter and grandchild.
Meeting with families and finding the right place for their loved ones during a stressful time is rewarding, she said. She mentioned the importance of addressing their social, physical, medical, and financial needs while also building a strong, supportive bond throughout the process.
“It is just the satisfaction of helping people,” Stallings said. “We take away friendships, hugs and smiles. I love what I’m doing and doing what I love.”
Franchising and family
Jim Haiar was 57 when he and a partner bought a HOODZ franchise in 2009. The company specializes in cleaning kitchen exhaust systems to prevent fires. At that time, he was still working as an Omaha police officer. He retired from the police force but continued to work as a Saunders County sheriff’s deputy until recently. All the while, he was running HOODZ.
“I’d already retired from one job, and I just couldn’t stand sitting around,” he said.
Haiar said being a business owner enables him to set his own hours and focus on decision-making. At 71, his motivation is in service and passing along his years of training, whether it be in law enforcement or with his franchise.
While he took advantage of a training program offered, he declined the financing.
“Take your savings,” Haiar said. “Take a little of that, and invest in yourself, which would be kind of a novel idea in this day and age.”
Haiar’s family is a part of the business equation, with his daughter now owning part of the business and his son-in-law serving as operations manager. Haiar’s wife and granddaughter are also involved.
“The succession plan is something you’ve got to think about, no matter what business you’re getting into,” Haiar said. “You’ve got to have that plan in the beginning for about how you want to end it.”
Entrepreneurial spirit
In 2005, Chuck King founded IT Nexus, Inc. offering technology consulting services to small and medium-sized businesses.
“The genesis of it really started a few years earlier than that, probably several years, in the sense that I knew what I wanted,” King said. He took time researching competition, services and funding, while focusing on risk reduction.
After 15 successful years, he sold the business to Scantron five and a half years ago.
Using his business sense and entrepreneurial spirit, he transitioned to consulting by supporting the development of business owners through organizations like the Nebraska Angels Network. He is now a retired entrepreneur and investor.
“Now you’re not in the driver’s seat of running the business,” King said. “You’re off on the side in the bleachers. You are kind of a fan cheering them on, but you’re still involved in the game.”
Shared learning
These entrepreneurs agree that starting a business after traditional retirement can be a transition to another phase of life, along with a desire to share what they’ve learned.
“Just do it,” Beach said, adding it is good to save money along the way. “When you have people around you who are encouraging, it’s easy to do that.”
Stallings emphasized the importance of finding something you are passionate about, using community resources and networking.
Haiar stressed the importance of hiring reliable people to handle parts of the business you’re not skilled at and trusting them to share your values, then lead by example.
“Many times, retirement becomes boring and starting a business can bring purpose and challenge into our life,” he said.
King concluded that a successful business is a personal journey.
“If you find something that you learned, are good at, and enjoy, put those two things together. You’re really going to have success and make a difference somewhere,” he said.

Crafting a Solid Future EXPERTS BULLISH
MIKE JOHNSON COO AND EVP OF MANUFACTURING, NEBRASKA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY
Experts suggest that despite challenges such as rising costs and a limited labor pool, Nebraska’s manufacturers have reasons to be optimistic.
“Manufacturing in Nebraska gets anWA grade,” said Mike Johnson, chief operating officer and executive vice president of manufacturing with the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “Manufacturers are presented with opportunities for career growth, skill enhancement, diverse experiences and unique work through on-the-job training.
“What is also driving people toward work in manufacturing is that they get to see the fruits of their labor at work in the real world. Whether it is seeing the products they produce on the road, on the shelves of stores, helping produce the food we eat, or everywhere in between, those who work in manufacturing can literally point to their work and say, ‘My team and I made that.’”
Economic force
The National Association of Manufacturers reported almost 10% of Nebraska’s workforce is employed in manufacturing, accounting for about 10.5% of the state’s total output at $13.53 billion. Johnson stated that manufacturing is being driven by a national trend toward bringing supply chains back to the U.S.
“There has been a trend toward more U.S.-produced goods since the pandemic,” he said. “Recently, Nebraska recorded a 6.3% increase in manufacturing employment growth since the start of the pandemic, making us the sixth fastest-growing state in the country for manufacturing careers. This far outpaces the national average of 1.7% growth.
“Nebraska’s manufacturing is a key component of our agricultural economic value chain, where manufacturing buys ag products and refines them, processes them, and turns our agricultural output into higher-value products for sale around the world.”
Bioscience a sleeping giant
Rob Owen, executive director of Bio Nebraska, a nonprofit trade association, said while the biotech sector has a lot of opportunity, it also has steep challenges that must be met.
ON FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING
ROB OWEN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BIO NEBRASKA
“In general, Nebraska’s bioscience industry is in a good position, especially the biomanufacturing sector, but there is work to be done to keep the industry moving in the right direction,” he said. “It should be no surprise that the workforce is a challenge, but capital and infrastructure are also challenges that need to be addressed.
“Workforce issues are not unique to the biosciences, however, I believe we can start chipping away at these workforce issues with simple awareness. There are over 18,000 jobs associated with biosciences in Nebraska with an average annual salary of $82,718. The average salary of Nebraska’s total private sector is $54,059.
“It is important for us to make sure junior and senior high school students, teachers and parents are aware of the bioscience companies in Nebraska, the jobs offered by these companies and the wages that go along with these jobs.”
As for capital, Owen said startups can initially benefit from Nebraska’s Business Innovation Act program, but once firms outgrow those resources, the financing picture becomes murkier. Equally important is addressing a critical lack of infrastructure for biotech companies.
“The entire state of Nebraska has 7,700 square feet of available wet lab space and all that space is located on the Nebraska Innovation Campus in Lincoln,” he said. “Surrounding states have hundreds of thousands of square feet of wet lab space. If Nebraska wants to keep startups and attract companies from out of state, there needs to be an investment in wet lab space, which is not cheap.”
New tech, new training
Johnson and Owen both gave the state’s colleges high marks for curricula that support the manufacturing industry, calling such programs vital to the health of the industry.
Bryan Geise, a professor in the advanced manufacturing program at Metropolitan Community College, said for as much as is new in the modern factory, there’s more coming.
“From the standpoint of students today, the focus is robotics, which local companies are more interested in than in any other sort of automation that is available,” he said. “We’ve actually just incorporated a robot into

one of our classes; it’s kind of basic, but it is a start to get that moving.
“The other major thing that we are seeing is a shift from subtractive manufacturing to additive manufacturing. In subtractive manufacturing, you take a block of material and you remove that material until it makes a part. For additive manufacturing, we’re talking about 3D printing. The latest technology can print in metals, allowing someone whose technical skill isn’t as high to design a part in 3D and hit print.”
Geise said while such technology isn’t necessarily attracting new waves of students, it does reinforce those who seek to work with their hands.
“I think it does give a greater sense of accomplishment when somebody is able to design a part and build it start to finish,” he said. “It gives you that sense of completion that you did the whole thing yourself.”

Giving Smarter
HOW NON-CASH ASSETS CAN TRANSFORM YOUR CHARITABLE GIVING
BY KATIE VOGEL DIRECTOR OF DONOR SERVICES OMAHA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
Before we head into the busy season around the holidays, now is a great time to plan your charitable giving for the rest of the year — and the most effective donations may not include your checkbook at all.
Though cash is easy to donate, it may not be the right option for all situations. Donating other assets can have the advantage of maximizing tax benefits for you and your family while allowing you to give more to the causes and organizations you care about the most. This ensures your donations have the greatest impact in the community while also providing you with the most tax advantages possible.
Below are some examples of non-cash assets you can donate that will benefit your favorite nonprofits and your tax planning.
Appreciated Stock or Business Interests
If you own closely held or publicly traded stock that has increased in value, gifting it to a nonprofit or a Donor Advised Fund at the Omaha Community Foundation offers benefits that cash donations simply can’t match.
The key advantage of donating appreciated stock lies in capital gains taxes. Normally, if you sell a stock that has grown in value, you’d be subject to capital gains tax — potentially up to 20% — on the difference between the initial value and the sale price. However, when you donate the stock directly, you avoid paying those taxes. This means the nonprofit receives the full value of the stock, and you receive a deduction for the stock’s fair market value at the time of the donation.
It’s a win-win: you can put more into your Donor Advised Fund and enjoy a significant tax benefit. If you’re looking to support causes close to your heart, this is
one of the most impactful ways to give.
Charitable IRA Rollover
If you own an IRA, a Charitable IRA Rollover (also known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution) is a tax-savvy way to use your retirement assets during your lifetime to make charitable gifts.
In 2024, if you are 70 1/2 or older, you can donate up to $105,000 per year from an IRA directly to a charitable organization, including a fund at the Omaha Community Foundation. The donation is excluded from your taxable income and counts toward your required minimum distribution.
The Charitable IRA Rollover operates separately from the rules that limit the tax benefit of individual charitable giving. So, if you are inclined to give more than the standard deduction, this rollover is a great option for you. You may find that the rollover provides greater tax savings than cash donations because your adjusted gross income is lower.
In addition, if you name a nonprofit as a full or partial beneficiary on your IRA or other retirement accounts, neither you nor your children will pay taxes on that portion of the distribution.
If you have any questions about charitable giving, reach out to the team at the Omaha Community Foundation: 402-342-3458 or giving@omahafoundation.org.

The Omaha Community Foundation recommends discussing these strategies with your accountant, financial adviser or attorney. the power of philanthropy to strengthen our community.

WEBSITE: WWW.MCGRATHNORTH.COM
INDUSTRY: LAW
Business profile:
McGrath North is one of the largest law firms in Nebraska, with a talented team of over 70 attorneys. Our clients range from entrepreneurs and small businesses to Fortune 500 companies operating in a broad range of industries, including insurance, technology, manufacturing, construction, agribusiness, consumer packaged goods, fintech, aviation, private equity, hospitality and health care.
Q: What are the key growth drivers your company is currently focusing on and how do you prioritize them in your overall strategy?
A: The key growth drivers in our firm are: (A) growing our client base and expanding representation of current clients and (B) increasing our capacity to represent current and new clients. For example, we have had recent success helping clients grow in the technology space, principally in the areas of artificial intelligence and data centers. In addition, we are continually looking to add talent to our firm, most recently with key hires in the real estate, business/corporate and litigation areas.
Q: In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, how does your company stay ahead of the curve and identify emerging trends that can impact your growth?
A: We are constantly learning and evolving how we practice law. For example, artificial intelligence is already changing how we practice and the ability to work both remotely and in the office has allowed us to be flexible in how, when and where we practice.
Q: Can you share a specific example of a recent growth initiative that your company has implemented? What lessons have you learned from this strategy?
A: Our business model is fueled by talented attorneys and key client relationships. As a result, we have implemented a growth strategy to attract lawyers and retain lawyers who may find themselves in stagnating firms/practices but who are highly talented and with key client relationships and the ability to grow a client base. We learned that we must be attractive to talent, both from a financial perspective as well as through our team-based culture. We operate a robust law-clerk program to train future lawyers starting as early as their first year in law school. Our clerk program has produced
some of the very best lawyers in the region and pays dividends for our firm year-after-year.
Q: How does your company balance short-term financial performance with long-term growth objectives? What roles does sustainability play in your growth strategy?
A: Any time you add talent to a law firm, whether it is through a lateral hire or a new law school graduate, there is inevitably a rampup period that may require a higher investment relative to revenue production in the short term. However, in a service business like ours, that investment can lead to exponential growth through the development and expansion of expertise that grows our ability to serve current and new clients.
Q: What advice would you give to other business leaders who are looking to accelerate their growth, particularly in the current economic climate?
A: You must be willing to invest in talent and culture, while at the same time, focusing on accountability. A willingness to adapt to an everchanging business landscape is imperative because the status quo will eventually become stale. It is a balance between maintaining your sense of business identity while at the same time, being open to change.

The Rules are Different in the Digital World
“Unprofitable tech.” It’s a phrase we’ve heard a lot over the past 15 years during the rise of the digital economy. Oftentimes, it is used as a knock against “growth” investing or a sign of a broken or overvalued business model. We heard such proclamations in the early days of Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, Uber, and many others. We were reminded of this recently with reports that privately held OpenAl doesn’t expect to reach profitability until 2029, incurring losses of $44 billion between 2023 and 2028. If such companies are losing money, what’s the point? How can you even value them? Traditional value investors seemed bewildered, and often times, disgusted. Many just chalked up the existence of such bizarre anomalies to the Fed’s low-interest rate policy.
What some fail to realize is that this is intentional. These aren’t unprofitable business models. Quite the opposite. Inherently, selling a byte of software code is incredibly profitable and requires minimal human and financial capital relative to firms in the traditional economy. Rather, many digital companies choose scale over profits to establish network effects and market share.
Some economic laws don’t apply to digital firms in the same way as traditional ones. There is a concept called the law of diminishing marginal returns. In layman’s terms, this means that the more product a business produces, the less valuable each incremental unit becomes. If John Deere flooded the market with combines, it would become oversupplied and prices would fall. The same would happen with many others, such as Coca-cola, Proctor & Gamble, or Johnson & Johnson. However, the opposite is often true in the digital world. The more people that Meta’s Facebook or Instagram attracts, the more valuable that product becomes for both users and advertisers. The same is true for Ebay, Netflix, Amazon, Salesforce, etc. Unlike some firms that sell physical units, digital products tend to become more valuable over time as new features and users are added. This necessitates a re-prioritization of profits versus scale.
Like other digital firms, there will be a “prove it” moment for OpenAI. Just don’t confuse the financial modesty of these companies with broken or overvalued business models. We believe in yielding patience and looking beyond near-term profits and valuation multiples

KIMBERLY BARNES
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CASA FOR DOUGLAS COUNTY
Bio:
Kimberly Barnes has spent the bulk of the last two decades advocating for underserved communities. She was named executive director of CASA for Douglas County in October 2022 and was recently elected to the Urban Leadership Council of the National Court Appointed Special Advocate/Guardian ad Litem Association. Locally, she serves on committees for the Greater Omaha Chamber, the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands, the Rising Leaders Institute, and the Omaha Community Foundation.
Questions:
You were recently appointed to the Urban Leadership Council of the National CASA/GAL Association. What is the council’s objective and why did you accept this role?
The Council will operate through a model that engages urban leaders to address network challenges as well as external factors relative to child welfare, support the development of strong state CASA/GAL organizations and local CASA/GAL programs, and develop strategies, goals and objectives. I accepted this role as I wanted to be more impactful in the space of child welfare and governing policies within the urban sector. In this work, I will help to define and practice true collaboration and inclusivity. I will utilize the significant expertise that I have at the local program level at CASA for Douglas County to find optimal resolution to issues impacting urban programs related to the child welfare system.
Your career has focused on advocating for children and communities at risk. What brought you to this line of work? What has inspired you to stick with it?
I was a teen mom at the age of 18 and faced many challenges. It was a difficult life change and many attempted to tell me to settle for what seemed to be the road to take as a teen mom. I was determined to beat the status quo. Along the way, I had to advocate for myself in spaces where many pegged me to be a statistic. I learned that lived experiences carry you beyond the content of a textbook. I found my voice and I have not stopped speaking up for the one who has a small voice due to shame or circumstance. It is my passion to advocate and stand alongside children, families and underserved communities to ensure they are represented in spaces where they are generally overlooked and silenced. This brought me to the career I have and love. Many children, especially black and brown children, are constantly fighting to beat statistics due to life circumstances. My inspiration to stay in this

White Lotus Group Announces MURAL
MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT IN THE WORKS FOR DOWNTOWN LINCOLN
Construction has begun on a new mixed-use development, MURAL, in downtown Lincoln at the site of the former Pershing Auditorium. The name of the development pays homage to the iconic mural within the auditorium.
“MURAL represents a significant step forward for the Lincoln community. By integrating residential units with vibrant commercial spaces, we’re creating a development that not only provides much-needed affordable housing, but also strengthens local businesses and services. This project is designed to enrich the urban core, fostering a more inclusive, accessible, and thriving neighborhood for all,” said Drew Sova, executive vice president and general counsel for White Lotus Group.
The $30 million development will feature both residential and commercial space. The building will include 90 apartments, 47 underground parking spaces and space for commercial tenants. The project is slated to be completed in December 2025.
UNMC
Development Dubbed EDGE District HEALTH-FOCUSED DISTRICT TO TOUT INNOVATION
A new University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) district in the works has been named EDGE District.
“EDGE District will become a dynamic hub for health-focused scientific discovery, entrepreneurship and commercialization, some of the key items needed to ensure the state of Nebraska remains competitive on the national stage,” said H. Dele Davies, MD, interim chancellor at UNMC in a press release. “Not only that, the district will also become a premier destination within the city — a place where individuals want to work, live and experience vibrant entertainment. In essence, EDGE will not only elevate the university’s role as a leader in innovation and research but also strengthen the city’s economic vitality and enhance the state’s reputation as a center of excellence and opportunity.”
The over 30-acre property, bordered by Saddle Creek Road, 48th Street and Farnam/ Douglas streets, serves as a hub for new development for UNMC. Within this district, developments are currently underway. Catalyst, serving UNeMed and UNeTech with its Innovation Hub, is set to open in early 2025. The Campus Operations and Research Excellence (CORE) building will include lab space and an incubator for startups.

When there is a separation from employment and the employee is rehired within twelve months of separation by the same employer, previously accrued paid sick time that had not been used shall be reinstated. The employee shall be entitled to use accrued paid sick time and accrue additional paid sick time at the recommencement of employment.

(2) Paid sick time under this section shall be provided upon the oral request of an employee. When possible, the request shall include the expected duration of the absence. (3) An employer that requires notice of the need to use paid sick time in accordance with this section shall provide a written policy that contains reasonable procedures for employees to provide notice. An employer that has not provided to the employee a copy of such written policy shall not deny paid sick time to the employee based on noncompliance with such a policy. (4) An employer shall not require, as a condition of an employee’s taking paid sick time under this section, that the employee search for or find a replacement worker to cover the hours during which the employee is using paid sick time. (5) Paid sick time under this section may be used in the smaller of hourly increments or the smallest increment that the employer’s payroll system uses to account for absences or use of other time.

If an employee establishes a claim and secures judgment on the claim, such employee shall also be entitled to recover the full amount of the judgment and all costs of such suit, including reasonable attorney’s fees.
(7) If an employee institutes suit against an employer under subsection (6) of this section, any citation that is issued against an employer under subsection (1) of this section and that relates directly to the facts in dispute shall be admitted into evidence unless specifically excluded by the court.

The following are some guidelines to consider when posting legal notices with the Midlands Business Journal:
1. Submit a written notice in either Microsoft Word or as a PDF document to the Legal Department at legals@ mbj.com. For trade names, submit a copy of approved (bar code in upper right hand corner) Application For Registration of Trade Name from the Secretary of State to the same email address
Please include your billing address and the desired duration you’d like your notice to run (trade names run for only one week). As a publisher and not a legal advisor we print notices exactly as they are submitted and therefor only comp reruns when the notice was rejected or messed up due to a MBJ error All companies submitting notices are responsible for ensuring the content fits with the State’s requirements and are responsible for the cost of republishing the notice if it is rejected due to misinformation or missing information
2. You will receive a confirmation and price quote. Legal notices, except for trade names, are charged per line. The flat fee for a trade name is $50. Payment options are cash or check.
3. Deadline is noon on Tuesday for a notice to start publishing that Friday.
4. All costs include fees to file the notice with the Secretary of State and/or any appropriate courts.
5. You will receive a paid invoice copy the first week it runs
