We found out today that Jane, a long time BBB employee and 25 Year Club member passed away back in September 2023. She was the president and CEO of BBB Oklahoma City until she retired in 2006.
She was a friend and mentor to me as a fledgling BBB staffer and she had so much wisdom and passion for the BBB and what we do within our communities. Here is a link to her obituary.
