Please join us in welcoming our new CEO, Hannah J. McDonald!
We're thrilled to announce that, following a review by the Board's Executive Committee, our Board of Directors has unanimously named Hannah J. McDonald as the next Chief Executive Officer of Boys & Girls Clubs of Red River Valley Oklahoma, effective September 28, 2026. Hannah J. is the first female CEO to lead BGCRRVOK in its 15-year history, a milestone we're especially proud to share with the girls in our Clubs.
Hannah J. is no stranger to our Clubs. She joined our team in 2022 as our first Director of Development. She then spent two years in public education, working every day with the same kids and families our Clubs serve, before coming back home to BGCRRVOK in June 2025. Most recently, as Chief Development Officer, she has led our fundraising, grants, partnerships, and signature events, including the Crystal Ball, Snow Ball, and 5K for Futures. She has helped raise over $2,540,000 for our members across our 13 locations.
Hannah J. is a Durant native and a Durant High School alumna. She graduated summa cm laude from Liberty University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, earned a Master of Education with honors from Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and chairs the Marshall County Wellbeing Initiative. She believes every young person deserves a safe place to learn, grow, and succeed and takes our missionâ to enable all young people, especially those that need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizensâ to heart.
"I grew up here in southern Oklahoma, and leading an organization that serves its kids is an honor I am embarking on with humble ambition," Hannah J. said. "My focus is straightforward: more kids served, stronger programs, and deeper partnerships with the families, schools, tribal nations, and communities that make this work possible. Iâm excited to get to work alongside our incredible team to build Great Futures for every child who walks through our doors in this new capacity."
Please help us welcome Hannah J. to her new role!
