Meet Leadership Edmond Class 41!

A new class, meaningful connections, and countless hours discovering what makes Edmond such a special place to call home.

Please help us give a BIG welcome to the newest members of the Leadership Edmond family!

Over the next nine months, Class 41 will get an inside look at Edmond, connecting with local leaders, nonprofits, and the many people and organizations that shape our community. They’ll gain new perspectives, discover more about our city, and build relationships that will last well beyond graduation.

Promoting financial literacy in Oklahoma isn't possible without people who care. We want to thank Holloway, Updike, and Bellen, Inc. for their sponsorship in helping us train K-12 teachers how to incorporate principles of economics and personal finance into the classroom curriculum.

Yesterday was a wonderful reminder of what it means to invest in Oklahoma students and teachers. 🍎💛

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Back to School with Financial Literacy Luncheon and supported our mission.

Our favorite detail? Each donor received a golden apple with a handwritten note from a student: “Thank you for investing in me.”

We couldn’t say it better ourselves.

More photos and highlights from an incredible day coming soon!
