President’s Letter | October 11, 2024
Dear Friends and Supporters,
As we embark on an exciting month for our community, I want to share some important updates and reflections. I am honored to have served from March through September in an unexpired term and am thrilled to announce that I have been selected and approved to serve a full term from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025. My commitment is to bring stability and continuity to our organization and Board during this crucial time. I am deeply aware of the responsibility that comes with this role and am dedicated to serving our community with integrity and passion.
Today, October 11th marks the beginning of Tulsa Pride, a celebration that holds immense significance for our community. This year, we are thrilled to host Pride in October for the first time, moving from our traditional June celebration. We hope this change will enhance accessibility for all, creating a more inclusive experience. Let's embrace this new chapter with excitement and engagement!
