Rotarians at Work Panel
Join us for an exciting opportunity to learn more about these fellow Rotary 14 members during our Rotarians at Work panel:
- Karla Frese | Owner, Home Care Partners
- Karla Frese is the Managing Partner of Home Care Partners, where she has the privilege of working alongside healthcare teams and facilities to create a positive impact in the lives of individuals with dementia. She offers guidance and understanding to help them navigate healthcare options. With a lifelong dedication to improving the lives of seniors in the community, she is committed to providing thoughtful, high-quality, and dedicated care. In addition to her role at Home Care Partners, she actively engages in community education through the Parkinson's Foundation. She also hosts support groups for Alzheimer's and Dementia, volunteers with Horison and Tabitha Hospice, and proudly serves as a member of the Heartland Cancer Foundation Guild. She actively participates in various community initiatives, serving at her church, St. Joseph Altar Society, and contributing to committees and organizational needs in collaboration with the Chamber, the University of Nebraska OLLI Classes, AARP, and Junior Achievement.
- Darold Karmazin | Owner, Darold's Jewelers & Diamond Importers
- Darold's is the only Lincoln jeweler who handpicks diamonds directly from the finest diamond cutters in Antwerp, the diamond capital of the world! Darold has been your personal diamond importer for over 30 years. By eliminating the middleman, you can own a much higher quality diamond for the same investment elsewhere. If we don't have it, we'll find it! From fancy and ideal cuts to hearts and arrows, and rare colored diamonds, our focus is on your complete satisfaction.
- Julie Robinson | Account Executive, KLKN-TV ABC Ch. 8
- Julie is an experienced Account Executive with a demonstrated history of working in the broadcast media industry and has been with KLKN-TV Channel 8 ABC since July 2015. It was unheard of, maybe even a bit unbelievable that a city the size of Lincoln, Nebraska before March 1996 had only one local commercial television station. This was the case until Channel 8 KLKN-TV flipped the switch in the spring of 1996, providing Lincoln with its own ABC affiliate and something more in a television station for the Lincoln and surrounding community.
- Chris Sommerich | Executive Director, Humanities Nebraska
- ​Chris Sommerich is the Executive Director of Humanities Nebraska, a statewide nonprofit that helps people explore what connects us and makes us human. Chris joined Humanities Nebraska in 2004 as its Development Officer, then became Development Director, and in 2011, Executive Director. He has a Master's Degree in Political Science from UNL, and in addition to being a Rotarian is a TeamMates mentor and on the stewardship board for Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center. In his spare time he enjoys running, biking, photography, traveling, and playing bass guitar.
