Great organizations don't just succeed in their communities—they invest in them!
Last week, my colleague Kristen Hannam and I had the privilege of representing Restore OKC at the Oklahoma City Thunder Community Breakfast.
It was inspiring to hear more about the Thunder organization's intentional commitment to building meaningful partnerships that strengthen communities throughout Oklahoma. Their impact clearly extends far beyond the basketball court!
Jennifer Watson and Erin Oldfield did an outstanding job leading a great meeting, highlighting the Thunder's commitment to community engagement, collaboration, and lasting impact.
One of the highlights for me was reconnecting with Erin, Vice President of Community Engagement and Executive Director of the Thunder Community Foundation, and a fellow member of my OKC Connect class.
As Director of Employment at RestoreOKC, I'm especially encouraged by organizations that recognize the power of collaboration and the importance of investing in people.
Grateful for the opportunity to represent RestoreOKC, strengthen relationships, and continue being part of the positive momentum happening in the city that raised me!
