WFO is the go-to resource for empowering women, creating awareness and championing change on crucial issues facing Oklahoma women and girls.

Last month, we were proud to have sponsored the breakfast for the Invest in Girls project launch in Tulsa!

At the Women’s Foundation of Oklahoma, we believe in equipping young women with the knowledge, confidence and opportunities to succeed — and the Invest in Girls program does exactly that.

With topics like salary negotiations, budgeting, interest rates, reading pay-stubs and meeting women in the finance industry, this initiative is building the next generation of financially literate leaders.

A huge thank-you to all the girls, mentors, partners, and volunteers who joined us at the launch event — your enthusiasm and commitment are inspiring. Together we’re changing the game for women in financial services and beyond.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us for the 2025 WFO Convening — our largest ever, with more than 85 women and allies gathered to learn, connect, and inspire one another.

The day opened with a powerful keynote from Representative Amanda Clinton on the experiences and leadership of Indigenous women in Oklahoma. From there, we heard an honest and uplifting interfaith dialogue featuring Jenel Fatihah, Rabbi Vered L. Harris, and Rev. Kelsey Cobbs, moderated by Rev. Dr. Lori Walke.

The afternoon included a training announcement from Allison Lawrence, a fun and eye-opening Status of Women trivia session led by Micaela Brokaw of United WE, and time for connection during lunch, breaks, and happy hour. We closed the day with a live interactive painting by the talented Aditi Heins.

This year’s convening highlighted what we know to be true: when women come together across backgrounds, faiths, and communities, powerful things happen. Thank you for being part of this record-setting gathering — we look forward to carrying the energy of this day into the year ahead.
