CONCEPT BEHIND THE COVER

An array of colorful arrows suggests positive upward movement, meshing and overlapping our talent and ideas, all while respecting our diversity. Leaders of Oklahoma must exhibit and embrace the qualities of good leadership: that of listening, learning, adapting, adjusting and maintaining momentum.

1 I remain deeply honored to have been selected to be part of Leadership Oklahoma’s “Best Class Ever”, Class XXIV. However, I am truly humbled to have been allowed to serve in an array of recent years’ LOK Executive Committee roles and now LOK Chair for 2019 – 2020.

Leadership Oklahoma’s fiscal year of 2019 – 2020 will be an exciting one! LOK will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Youth Leadership Oklahoma. LOK’s very recent 30th anniversary instilled an array of strategic decisions and actions upon our leadership, Dr. Marion Paden, our staff of Allyson Carson, Tina Biard, and Elizabeth Logan, and our board. In 2019 – 2020, the collective of the three groups, will re-examine those strategic visions and ensure we accountably take steps to continue the longevity of our organization.

Born a sixth generation rural Oklahoman, but presently residing in urban Oklahoma, my Scott Stidham Chair personal, philanthropic and professional paths have exposed me to leaders from all of Oklahoma’s locales and walks-of-life. However, no organization has exposed me to a more influential network of distinguished leaders than what LOK possesses. Regardless of our class number, our geographic locale, or our profession, my hope is that our entire network of leaders, even inactive ‘LOK’ers’, will consider attending one of our many member events or assisting with any of LOK’s many committee needs. As a member-led organization, LOK will only be as dynamic as our membership’s interest and involvement. LOK’s ability to maintain a balanced member involvement, rural and urban, public and private sector, ensures our organization will maintain a strong cross section of leaders.

“To whom much is given, much is expected” is a scripture and mindset which has permeated generations of my family. Each of us possesses our own inspirational centers of influence. Marion and I hope you will be willing to join us and re-introduce your leadership and influences into LOK in the coming year.

Respectfully,

Scott M. Stidham Chair 2019 - 2020 Class XXIV

VISION MISSION Oklahoma leaders making Oklahoma the leader. To create, inspire and support a dynamic network of leaders whose increased awareness and commitment to service will energize Oklahomans to shape Oklahoma’s future. BELIEFS & VALUES Leadership Oklahoma will hear and answer the call to service. Its members will be passionate about Oklahoma and committed to its future. Members of Leadership Oklahoma will challenge the status quo because they believe that Leadership Oklahoma should play a significant role in helping Oklahoma achieve its ever-growing potential. As a result of their contributions, Leadership Oklahoma will help Oklahoma sustain a strong diversified economy, provide quality career opportunities for its citizens and create an increasingly attractive quality of life. Leadership Oklahoma will foster change through a network of diverse leaders. Leadership Oklahoma will offer an enlightened perspective of the challenges and opportunities facing the state. Through outreach and collaboration, MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR members of Leadership Oklahoma will engage others in support of common goals. Leadership Oklahoma members are expected to be persistent, informed, and involved leaders in the state, embracing a common vision and serving as catalysts to build Oklahoma’s future.

2 A NETWORK OF INFORMED AND CONNECTED LEADERS CAN DRIVE POSITIVE CHANGE: Since its inception, Leadership Oklahoma has provided intentional educational and inspirational experiences for 1,629 of the state’s premier adult leaders and nearly 1,000 high school students through its core class programs. Each participant is carefully recruited, selected, educated and connected to help make a positive impact and shape the future of the state. Additional programs, services and activities are provided throughout the year for high school students and adults to deepen their knowledge of the challenges and opportunities facing Oklahoma and encourage their commitment and action.

WHO WE ARE: In 1986, a group of Oklahoma leaders began a series of meetings Marion Paden and discussions based on the belief that we all have a stake in developing the prosperity and President & CEO confronting the problems of our state. They shared the conviction that our leadership must understand the complex differences and relationships that drive Oklahoma in order to find effective solutions. From those meetings came Leadership Oklahoma, an organization designed to create a dynamic network of leaders whose increased awareness and commitment to service will energize Oklahomans to shape the state’s future. In 1987, Leadership Oklahoma was incorporated and it is designated a non-profit 501(c)(3) by the Internal Revenue Service. We are funded primarily by membership fees, adult program tuition and private donations from individuals, corporations and foundations and governed by a volunteer board of directors that represent all regions of the state.

WHAT WE DO: LOK ADULT PROGRAM: Each year, Leadership Oklahoma brings together 50 of the state’s most outstanding leaders for an issues-oriented, class program. Monthly sessions, held in various communities, are designed to address current issues facing the state. Each program session features speakers that are acknowledged leaders in their specific fields, while program participants actively engage in discussion and debate. The process offers an opportunity for inquiry, analysis and development of solutions to the most pressing issues facing our communities and state. In addition, MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO program participants experience the unique culture of each community, weaving for themselves a broad-based and comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing the state with many cultures and geographic diversity. Participants are chosen through a rigorous application process and selected from across the state to represent Oklahoma’s professional, geographical and cultural diversity. The goal is to tap the energies of diverse leaders that represent a microcosm of our state to initiate positive change for the benefit of all Oklahomans. The real payoff is when participants are inspired by what they have learned and find ways to get more involved in improving our state. Based on the interaction and shared experience developed during the class, participants also have respect for the differences among us which must be overcome to achieve success. Leadership Oklahoma maintains its relevancy and impact by offering continuing opportunities for professional development and involvement among its network of 1629 graduates from 181 communities. Throughout each year, programs and activities are presented so that members can increase their awareness of critical issues and to foster the connectedness of the statewide network. YOUTH LOK: Leadership Oklahoma also recognizes the importance of investing in our youth. We know they are our future leaders and we are weary of seeing young talent leave our state. We want to entice our youth to want to stay in, or return to, Oklahoma. With this in mind, in the summer of 2001, Leadership Oklahoma expanded its mission by building a program that would help accomplish this goal. Youth Leadership Oklahoma was established to develop in our young leaders a hope, pride and responsibility for Oklahoma’s future. LEADERSHIP RECOGNITION: Leadership Oklahoma honors the outstanding contributions of Oklahoma corporate and individual leaders at an Excellence in Leadership Awards Dinner and Gala. Presentations are made in the following categories: Lifetime Achievement, Distinguished Graduate, Business Leadership and Statewide Community Leadership. In addition, LOK recognizes one of its own members with a Distinguished Leadership Award for Service to LOK. Through our “Helping Oklahoma Contest,” LOK recognizes annually an exceptional Oklahoma volunteer for their service to an Oklahoma non-profit and awards $2,500 to that non-profit.

WHY LOK IS IMPORTANT: Leadership Oklahoma is making a difference. It provides hope for the future as we work together to make Oklahoma a better place in which to live and work for all its citizens. Our graduates are actively developing real solutions to make Oklahoma a better state through involvement in state issues and leadership in the private, public and nonprofit sectors. They have dedicated themselves to the cause through active participation in hundreds of boards and committees. Leadership Oklahoma is about collaborating, connecting with others and working for a better Oklahoma. 3 1 2

Leadership is critical to Paycom’s success 2019 EXCELLENCE IN LEADERSHIP AWARDS because true leaders build other leaders, which drives innovation that propels the organization forward. As such, leadership is embodied in our core values: winning, leading, grit, learning and serving. Paycom believes leadership is not tied to position or title, but to one’s ability to influence. If you want to lead, you should lead, no matter where you are within the organization. As a company they have a holistic approach to developing leaders at all levels of the organization, helping ensure they are able to meet the high growth demands of the business, which is a critical component to its continued long-term success. Paycom’s yearlong leadership program, LEAD, impacts every level of the organization. LEAD teaches employees 360-degree leadership by “LEADing” yourself, your clients and your team through the values of learning, service and leadership. Senior leaders engage with program participants by sharing experiences and practical applications of class curriculum. For young leaders, that type of feedback is especially powerful. Under this model, Paycom employees continue growing, both personally and professionally, and are able to more effectively teach and empower their clients. Coaching and developing are key components of Paycom’s leadership training, as participants learn how to engage and develop their team members using an “attitude of servitude.” Because Paycom has found a direct correlation exists between happy employees and happy clients, the company strives to create a supportive and empowering environment. Outside of LEAD and companywide, employees are given opportunities to attend leadership programs covering how to lead up, craft a team vision and conduct one-on-one sessions. From the top down, Paycom makes time to invest in its most important asset: its people. This mindset earned the company top-10 placement in the 2018 Leadership Excellence and Development Awards presented by HR.com for Innovation in Deployment of Leadership Programs. By living the core values, Paycom leaders impact their communities while inspiring others to provide unparalleled experience for co-workers and clients. HOME CREATIONS | Statewide Community Award The Statewide Community Award acknowledges an organization or company that, through specific projects or efforts, has reached across valued differences to develop among Oklahomans a sense of common purpose and a more profound sense of loyalty to their state. This award has been created to promote a heightened sense of appreciation for the possibilities available when Oklahomans work together as a single statewide community. The Statewide Community Award acknowledges Home Creations. After leaving their home country of Iran to attend the , Jalal Farzaneh and his brother Mohammad started building their first home in 1981. As they grew their business, they founded Home Creations in 1994, a company that has grown to be one of Oklahoma’s largest homebuilding companies. Home Creations has made the dream of homeownership a reality for thousands of Oklahomans. Philanthropy is a core belief for the founders and its employees. One such program is “Hearts in Action”. Many Oklahomans struggle each day to put food on the table. During the months of October through December, Home Creations raises food and funds for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma and the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. With the donated cans, they construct a sculpture of a house to visually represent their effort as a company in helping fight hunger. Since 2006, Home Creations builds homes for deserving families through the Central Habitat for Humanity Builders Blitz program where contractors and vendors work together with Home Creations to build a future for those needing a hand up. They believe that making the dream of homeownership come true is good for all families, but also for the entire community. The employees are passionate about the cause and with their teamwork, a home is built generally within 5 days. The Farzaneh brothers, through the Farzaneh Family Foundation, have endowed two centers at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University for better understanding of the Middle East and Persian Gulf region. They also give back to the communities through nonprofit organizations across the state. Some include the American Heart Association, United Way, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Rebuilding Together of Cleveland County, American Cancer Society, Fraternal Order of Police, Tinker Air Force Base and numerous schools, community projects, sports teams and religious groups. In 2014, Home Creations received The Journal Record’s “Beacon Awards” in the philanthropic impact categories. “The American Dream” means something different for each person, but for Jalal and Mohammad, their success isn’t their own. It’s about caring for each other, using the resources you have to serve others, and instilling a passion of service to those you live with and work around. 13 IN APRIL 2019, fifty-one outstanding Oklahoma leaders completed the LOK adult program, making the membership now 1,629 men and women from 181 communities.

Or is it for those who the gift of gab is easy for them to nab? Nay, the Golden Bull is for those of you who are not afraid. They ask the critical questions, the whys or why-nots of speakers. It is an honor bestowed to one person each year. One who is willing to take risks, to ask the tough questions. One whose concerns about the issues are apparent by their interaction in class. One who is willing to step forward and be the leader.

Stan Chase 2019 HELPING OKLAHOMA RECOGNITION PROGRAM Leadership Oklahoma sponsored its eighth annual Helping Oklahoma Recognition Program, which recognizes exceptional Oklahoma volunteers from across the state for their service to Oklahoma 501c3 non-profit organizations. The volunteer selected receives $2,500 for the non-profit organization to further the work of the volunteer. This year’s winner is Debbie Wall. After the death of her husband, Debbie saw a need in the community to support widowed women and founded, Sisters Hand in Hand (SHIH) in 2015. Sisters Hand in Hand, an organization led completely by volunteers, provides an environment where widows can connect and support each other and feel empowered during the new and challenging chapter in their life. Using her experience as a grief counselor, Debbie has created a network of support and understanding in her community by hosting banquets for the women of Sisters Hand in Hand. Each month, Debbie hosts a banquet where attendees have an elegant dining experience with live entertainment, as well as receiving birthday gifts, door prizes and emotional support from fellow widows. Debbie has held thirty-eight banquets which host 150-175 women each month. Debbie and SHIS volunteers have also begun to host education workshops for the widows they serve. The workshops topics vary from life-skill centered subjects like taxes, Social Security and identity theft, to special interests like gardening, travel and physical activity. These opportunities have helped women create friendships outside of SHIH. Many members now regularly come together for movie nights, plays and concerts. Debbie has also created a network of resources for widows in need. When one widow’s home was damaged beyond Marion Paden, Debbie Wall, Lance McDaniel repair, Debbie led a team of SHIS volunteers to help her get new housing, utilities, and above all, the love and support she needed in a difficult time. Debbie has dedicated countless hours to helping the widowed women in her community. Her desire to create a network of strength and kindness has changed the lives of many women as they faced a tragic event in their lives. One other incredible nominee was honored for her service; Lisa Blacknoll of Filling Tummies. She received $1,000 for her volunteer efforts in making a true difference in the lives of those who are struggling to provide food for their families. Lisa is the mother of three children and works as Project Manager at Boeing. Lisa created a unique food pantry experience by converting an old school bus into a mobile food pantry. She wanted to eliminate the barrier of stable transportation and receiving the food an individual needs to sustain a family. Lisa strives to provide families the mobile pantry, serving healthy options like fresh fruits and vegetables. To reach children directly, Lisa schedules visits at local schools so

That same year, a group of dedicated Oklahomans from across the state joined together to create Leadership Oklahoma. Membership in Leadership Oklahoma represents a commitment to lead Oklahomans into the future by association with other Leadership Oklahoma members. In appearance, the Leadership Oklahoma lapel pin represents The Official State Wildflower, the Indian Blanket. This flower grows wild in various parts of Oklahoma from May through September. It grows to 15 inches tall and is about 2-1/2 inches in diameter. In thought, it represents the Indian headdress. The Circle of Feathers is the traditional leadership symbol among Plains Indians. The tips can also represent a class debriefing where the Leadership Oklahoma class members sit together in a circle to discuss the issues of the day. The campfire circle has been used to resolve issues in Oklahoma longer than most of us can remember. The Leadership Oklahoma logo is set in the center symbolizing a flag of patriotism. The flag epitomizes loyalty and commitment — in this case, commitment to a better Oklahoma.

23 The Leadership Oklahoma Tributes and Memorials Program allows donations in the name of a living or deceased friend or family member for any occasion. Honor someone special, commemorate a special occasion or the memory of a loved one or friend by making a donation to Leadership Oklahoma. IN MEMORY The loss of a single person of fine character and positive achievement is one too many. This is dedicated to those who have demonstrated their commitment to leadership but are no longer with us to help guide the way.

Class members have demonstrated a history of leadership in their communities and/or state, success in their professional or personal lives and potential for greater leadership. Leadership Oklahoma’s selection process ensures that each class consists of members from diverse backgrounds, experiences and geographical locations. Approximately fifty participants are chosen annually.

During the spring of each year communities apply to host class sessions for the following year. Communities are selected that represent all quadrants of the state. The topics for each class session are based on current state issues. The 2019-2020 Class 33 program schedule including the communities that were selected and the topics to be discussed is below.
