Leadership Tulsa’s claim is that “All leaders get there – to the place where they realize that life is bigger than any one of us and that to grow in their career, and as a person. They need to be connected to their community.” They further claim that they are “…the avenue to get you there.” Wendy Thomas, formerly the Executive Director of the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, has been the Leadership Tulsa’s executive director since January 2002.
