At igniteHR, community and connection are at the heart of everything we do. This fall, we proudly turned that commitment into action.

We were honored to serve as the official food sponsor. This was for the Fall Small Business Owners Alliance (SBOA) Open House & Vendor Show. This event brought together small business leaders, entrepreneurs, and local vendors in a celebration of collaboration, growth, and shared purpose.

By sponsoring the event’s food and refreshments, igniteHR helped fuel meaningful conversations and connections. Attendees enjoyed an afternoon filled with networking and knowledge-sharing, made better with great food and welcoming energy.

Living Our Values: Why We Stepped Up as the Food Sponsor

“Small businesses are the backbone of our communities,” said Misty Johnson, Founder and CEO of igniteHR. “We’re proud to serve them through our work—and we also want to show up for them in ways that bring people together. Sponsoring this event was a thank-you and a tribute to the community that continues to inspire us.”

For igniteHR, giving back means more than writing a check. It’s about showing up, volunteering, and supporting others in ways that reflect our core values: belonging, community, and service.

Looking Ahead

The SBOA Open House provided a valuable platform for local business owners to connect and exchange ideas. It was an opportunity to celebrate their shared successes. We’re grateful to the Small Business Owners Alliance for this ongoing partnership. We eagerly anticipate supporting more events that will build a stronger Omaha business community.
