Empower - Strategic Solutions for Nonprofits

06/11/2026

Nonprofit board service is often unseen work. It’s leadership meetings, difficult conversations, fundraising efforts, and strategic thinking — all in service of community impact. Today we’re grateful for the board members helping Oklahoma nonprofits thrive. Comment EMPOWER for more information.

Strong nonprofits begin with strong leadership alignment.

Recently, Empower had the opportunity to facilitate a customized workshop for the Latino Community Development Agency focused on nonprofit governance, strategic priorities, and strengthening board and leadership relationships.

Together, we explored:
• Roles and responsibilities of governance and management in nonprofits
• Strategic goals and organizational focus
• A practical overview of Open Meeting Act fundamentals

Hearing how this work is already creating greater clarity, communication, accountability, and shared expectations is exactly why we do what we do.

“The training went great. It gave me a lot of clarity and has already helped me better manage my relationship with the Board. I believe it has improved communication, accountability, and expectations for everyone involved.”
— Salvador Ontiveros, President & CEO, Latino Community Development Agency

Thank you to Salvador and the LCDA team for trusting Empower to walk alongside your organization. We’re honored to support nonprofits as they amplify their impact across Oklahoma.

Behind every strong nonprofit is a group of people willing to give their time, energy, and heart.

To the volunteers who show up, lend a hand, share their talents, and believe in building stronger communities—thank you.

You may never fully see the ripple effect of your kindness, but we do.

At EMPOWER, we are grateful for every person who helps move missions forward and make hope possible.

We appreciate you more than words can say. 💛

In a world that constantly asks nonprofits to do more…
we believe in doing what matters most.

Impact doesn’t come from doing everything.
It comes from clarity, focus, and the right strategy behind your work.

At Empower, we help organizations step back, refocus, and move forward with intention—so every effort drives meaningful change.

Because when you focus on what matters most,
everything else starts to fall into place.

👉 Let’s build your next step—together.

We are so proud to celebrate one of our own! 🎉

Melissa Richey, CFRM was honored last week as the 2026 Jeannie Ruedy Distinguished Women in Advertising Award recipient at the AAF Oklahoma City ADDY Awards — and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Melissa brings award-winning marketing insight, heart for mission-driven work, and strategic clarity to our board and to the nonprofit leaders we serve every day.

If your organization is ready to sharpen its focus and amplify its impact, you’re in the right place.

Congratulations, Melissa — and thank you for the leadership you bring to Empower! 💛

✨ Define clear goals that reflect your mission
✨ Identify strengths, opportunities, and growth areas
✨ Build shared understanding across your team
✨ Take confident next steps toward measurable impact

Whether you’re navigating growth, strategic shifts, or just want to revisit your purpose, an Organizational Focus Workshop can help your nonprofit move forward with intention and clarity.

Let’s strengthen your focus — because everything starts with a clear vision.

💙 Why do you love volunteering for Empower? 💙

“I love seeing Executive Directors I’ve coached thrive and become coaches themselves.”

Paul Moore — Past President & CEO of Empower and former Board Chair — summed it up perfectly.

This is what volunteering with Empower looks like:
✨ Watching confidence grow
✨ Seeing leadership take root
✨ Knowing the impact keeps going long after you step back

This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating the people who show up with heart and believe deeply in the power of investing in others.

Because investment, when done right, multiplies. 💛
