Leadership Team
Dear Friends, As Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oklahoma embarks on an updated strategic plan for 2018, we reflect back on those things that we have accomplished as well as challenges we face. We are proud of our work and the achievements of this organization for children in the state of Oklahoma. We are literally changing the face of Oklahoma one child at a time. Each of the 1,065 children we served in 2016-2017 are precious and important to us as well as the volunteers who spend countless hours ‘being a friend’ in a mentoring relationship. In the past 2 ½ years of my tenure at Big Brothers Big Sisters I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with many people across the state. Some that are already engaged in our mission and others that would like to learn more. Our team of staff, board members and volunteers is a force to be reckoned with. Each of us can make a difference and often these efforts go unacknowledged. Words do not express sufficiently how grateful we are for your donations, your time, your advocacy and your passion for our mission. Because of you, we are confident that next year holds many new opportunities for engagement in corporate and individual relationships, in strategic partnerships and life changing moments. Thank you for your commitments and continued support. With Gratitude,
R. Darrell Weaver Chief Executive Officer
