A letter from the Board Chair
Two years ago the leadership and the board of Revitalize T-Town made the decision to switch from being an affiliate of a national organization to being a stand-alone entity. While this was a difficult decision, we believe that it has allowed us to continue to innovate and to refine our service delivery model. In our 22nd year, we continue to fulfill our mission to the Tulsa community– making homes safe and secure for low-income homeowners. As part of the transition to a stand-alone organization, the board spent time evaluating our role in supporting the organization. We attended workshops and worked with the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits to learn best practices for running nonprofit organizations. One of the major changes we made was to expand the committees inside of the board to help divide our work load and to allow board members to engage other volunteers with roles on our committees. We currently have committees for governance, finance, and development/ fundraising, and these committees have played key roles in helping our organization run well. Revitalize T-Town also has a great staff who work tirelessly in carrying out our programs. The switch to a stand-alone organization has allowed them to implement many changes to improve our work flow. They continue to prove to our donors, board members, and homeowner clients, that they can manage the resources entrusted to them and efficiently complete the work to fulfill our mission. As we look forward to this next year, we are excited about the role we can play in the Tulsa community. We believe that in fulfilling our mission, we are helping to improve the Tulsa community as a whole. Thank you all for your generous support over the past 22 years. We are proud of the role we play in making Tulsa a great place to live. Michael Huckaby Board Chair
