OPSR Leadership Update

Dear Partners,

I’m writing to share an important leadership update from the Oklahoma Partnership for School Readiness (OPSR).

Effective November 28, Carrie Williams will be transitioning from her role as Executive Director. We are deeply grateful for Carrie’s leadership and service to OPSR and to Oklahoma’s children and families. Under her guidance, OPSR advanced key initiatives to strengthen prenatal-to-age-five systems, expand partnerships, and support communities across the state. Please join us in thanking Carrie for her dedication and impact.

Our programs, partnerships, and commitments will continue without interruption, and our priorities—that all Oklahoma children are safe, healthy, eager to learn, and ready to succeed by the time they enter school—remain firmly in place.

What this means for you:

·    Your primary OPSR contacts remain the same.

·    Current projects, contracts, and timelines continue as planned.

·    We’ll keep you informed about the search process and key milestones.

If you have questions, please reach out to Stephanie Lippert at slippert@okschoolreadiness.org. 

Media inquiries may be directed to Jon Trudgeon at jtrudgeon@okschoolreadiness.org or 405-924-3910.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for all you do to advance school readiness in Oklahoma.

Dr. Amy Emerson

President of the Board
