Summary
City staff told the Tulsa Women’s Commission that Tulsa will participate in a Carter Center 18-month initiative focused on equipping women with information, communications and a mural; the commission flagged a January presentation by Amber Gifton of the Office of Financial Empowerment.
The City of Tulsa was announced to the Women’s Commission as a participant in the Carter Center’s "Inform Women, Transform Lives" initiative, an 18-month engagement that will include a communications component and a mural, city staff said during the Nov. 10 meeting.
Commissioners said the local element will emphasize equipping women—particularly survivors of domestic violence—with information about the Tulsa Financial Empowerment Center and available services. The commission announced that Amber Gifton, who leads the Office of Financial Empowerment, will speak to members in January to explain the Financial Empowerment Center’s programs and services.
Commissioners and staff framed the initiative as complementary to the commission’s year-long inquiry and said the timing could support outreach and information campaigns tied to whatever single focus the commission adopts in January. No funding commitments or legislative actions were made at the meeting.
