Last week Gary Bren introduced us to new member Chad Allen. Chad is Rotary transplant from the Cedar Valley Chapter in Cedar Falls, IA where he was treasurer and president-elect.
He began his role as Managing Director at Film Streams on December 1, 2022. He is happy to say that he lives in the greatest Omaha neighborhood, Dundee. He is a colorblind, tea-addicted fourth generation ceramist, muralist, curator, photog, painter, haphazard humorist and Frank Lloyd Wright aficionado.
With a creative writing and studio art degree from the University of Northern Iowa, he segued into hospital administration - as one does. After nearly a decade in academic medical center leadership roles, he shifted to non-profit arts organizations. It is through the arts and service groups, like Rotary, that he has dedicated time to strengthening arts ecosystems and connecting creative communities.
Welcome, Chad!
