"Voices of Oklahoma" is one of our favorite projects of the Oklahoma Historical Society.

This installment is significant to our firm - it's our dear Steve Turnbo, sharing the story of his life with John Erling, who Tulsans may remember from his long-running KRMG Radio Show, Erling in the Morning. In his conversation with John,

Steve talks about his love for baseball, people he knew and loved and his outsized role in the story of our firm. Here's the link: https://ow.ly/i2pW50ZbUHh

Enjoy!

Join us in celebrating Catherine and Anne! 🎊

Like the Tulsa Regional Chamber, our firm's work centers around diverse, equitable and inclusive best practices.

It's no coincidence that the panel for this important event will be moderated by Schnake Partner Hannah Jackson, who also serves the Chamber as its Vice Chair of Diversity.

Hope to see you there.

State of Inclusion is June 25: In a national moment when many organizations are retreating from DEI, the most visionary leaders are asking a different question — not "Should we do this?" but "How do we build something that outlasts any political cycle?" Keynote speaker Tawanna A. Black draws on two decades of building systems, leading organizations and coaching executives to deliver a talk that is part provocation, part practical roadmap and entirely grounded in data.

Happy Happy Birthday to Schnake Associate and extraordinary graphic designer Tina Fincher!

You likely know her work without knowing you know it. For example, the beautiful new branding for the Museum of Tulsa History.

The survey results are in! Our inaugural Nonprofit Leadership Institute (NLI) was a smashing success, with 100% of respondents ranking the experience "extremely positive."

One participant called it “incredibly affirming and collaborative.” Another said it was “not only fun but also educational with practical resources.” Yet another said they “learned that I can give a damn fine elevator pitch.”

Congratulations to everyone who attended, and to our team who helped make it happen!

Intrigued? Our next cohort is slated for January 2027 in Oklahoma City.
