📣 MEET YOUR SPEAKERS! 📣

Worksite Wellbeing Summit is taking over the RAWC (OBU Recreation and Wellness) on September 24th, and we couldn't be more pumped about the lineup we're bringing to the stage this year. Here's what we have in store:

DEL CHITTIM, PRESIDENT & CEO OF FLANNEL SOLUTIONS
Just like our phones, we run on a battery that is constantly needing a boost. Del's keynote is about noticing what drains you, recharging on purpose, and showing up as your best self instead of running on empty.

KATHY LASTER, PHD, PRESIDENT & CEO OF AVEDIS FOUNDATION
Five decades in leadership, psychology, and philanthropy taught Dr. Laster one thing: everyday interactions build culture. She'll explore what happens when people truly know they matter and how that shapes the way we work and lead.

ERICA BASS, SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT AT ASTRO PANDA STUDIOS
We assume leaving systems alone is the safe choice. Erica makes the case otherwise, showing how clunky processes quietly fuel burnout and turnover, and why fixing them is a wellbeing strategy, not just an efficiency play.

JULIE GRIFFIN, PROJECT MANAGER AT MERIDIAN TECHNOLOGY CENTER
Inspired by Daniel Pink's When, Julie unpacks the science of timing — matching your toughest tasks to your energy highs, building breaks that actually recharge you, and turning transitions into momentum instead of burnout.

Pogo staff spent the last two days soaking up some serious knowledge at Oklahoma Public Health Association’s All Health is Public Health Conference in Edmond.

From mental wellbeing and food access to built environment, housing, and social connection, we heard from health leaders across the gamut on how it’s all connected. And we came home with notebooks full of proof.

Thanks for having us OPHA!

Ever looked at a bell pepper and thought "that could be an owl"? Or thought a watermelon looked suspiciously like Cinderella's carriage? Now's your chance to prove it.

300 water bottles, a blender, and a whole lot of hellos later, Spotlight on Shawnee is a wrap. Getting to welcome Oklahoma Baptist University’s newest students to our favorite county is always a highlight of the year. Welcome home, Bison! 🦬💚

Dolly Parton inspired the world with warmth, wit, and the wild idea that you could be big-hearted and big-dreaming at the same time.

What you might not know is that Dolly’s spirit has been part of Pogo’s brand from day one. She’s a piece of who we try to be. Playful, plainspoken, proud of where we’re from, and always rooting for the underdog.

When we talk about “living a little, longer,” we’re borrowing a little of her magic.

Thank you Dolly for reminding us that anything is possible if you believe. Rest easy. 💖

We had a blast at Cops N Kids today! Thanks to our partners at Kids Action for teaming up with us to teach kids bike safety and the rules of the road in our annual Bike Rodeo. Kids went through our obstacle course, learned the ABCs of bike safety (air, brakes, chain), and got a free helmet to take home.

Thanks to everyone who came out! we loved seeing all the smiling faces on two wheels. 🚴‍♂️
