Partners

I have mentioned earlier that this building project has been a matter of many hands. Multiple individuals within our current OCA family, our alumni, and in the community, along with many businesses have played a role in moving this project forward. We are building a list of just some of the key business partners who are lending their expertise to our school. Many at prices which are below market rates. I feel blessed to be in touch with many of these businesses.

One of our key business partners is Security National Bank. SNB is a locally owned and operated bank, and is our financing partner for the project. They have provided some creative ideas which will provide a lower than market interest rate for the long term financing of the building. Over the next short while we will be moving all of our banking relationships to SNB. They have expressed a desire to get to know the employees and families of our school. Of course they would like people to consider banking with SNB. Watch for SNB representatives at upcoming events at the new building.

SNB has some great technology tools and we will be exploring ways to utilize the technology in our school operations. One possibility includes making a voluntary electronic tuition service which would be available to parents.

We earnestly want to get the name OCA out into the community more, and aspect of that publicity is joining the Omaha Chamber of Commerce. We believe that there are a number of Chamber members who may be interested in either enrolling their children at OCA, or perhaps business relationships we can leverage for cost savings on goods and services.

The Lord's blessings to you!
