Mary Maxwell is back...

The dry humor and quick wit of Mary Maxwell has made her a popular speaker for over 30 years. A descendent of Omaha's Creighton family, Maxwell is a native-born Omahan and holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Rosary College (now known as Dominican University) in River Forest, Illinois, where she majored in philosophy and Latin and minored in Greek. She can't remember why.

Professionally, she was vice-president of Clark Eide, Inc., a financial services company until she retired in June of 2000. But it is her less serious side that has earned her speaking invitations from around the country.

She is passionately devoted to Nebraska football and has been a long-time season ticket holder. She was placed under a doctor's care after the 2002 season.

Over the years, she has been active in a number of organizations with a focus on education and the arts, and has also completed two terms on the nominating commission for the juvenile court in Omaha's Douglas County.
