Leading @OKDHS was the greatest professional role of my life and I am proud that I gave it everything I had. The truth is, there are thousands of people who have committed their lives to this reform that will never get public credit for their heroism. tulsaworld.com/news/local/go…

Human services transformation is our nation’s greatest opportunity. That transformation REQUIRES technology modernization, which is why the @APHSA1 ISM conference is a ‘must attend.’ Excited to see friends from across the nation to change the world through human services. #ismmco

@okdhs has made incredible progress in transforming OK’s child welfare system. We are proud to recognize and appreciate this improvement but we remain ‘fearless for continued change.’ Thankful to share the mission of @GovStitt’s ‘Child Welfare Task Force’ with @koconews today.

@okdhs is fired about about being named as one of the five states to pilot mobile payment options. This is just one of the incredible opportunities ahead to modernize technologies in human services.

the future of this incredible organization. @OKDHS is on a role because of collaborative relationships grounded in mission. Congratulations on a successful budget hearing Dr. Shropshire and thanks to Mark Lawson and the rest of the OK House for their engagement and support.

This video is a terrific representation of the person that Dr. @DebShropshire is and the impact she will have as the Director of @okdhs. I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunities ahead!
I hired Dr. Deborah Shropshire as Director of @OKDHS because of her heart for servant leadership and track record of success.
Her passion for serving children and families makes her the perfect person for the job.
Learn more about Dr. Deb in this week's #TopTenNews story.
