The 2015 Door-Opener Awards Gala took place on Thursday, September 24. The Gala is sponsored by The ASTEC Fund, a foundation benefitting ASTEC Charter Schools founded by Lou C. Kerr, William G. Paul and Dr. Freda Deskin, ASTEC Superintendent. ASTEC is a successful inner city public school in the heart of Oklahoma City serving a diverse population of students in grades six through twelve.
This annual event recognize outstanding individuals for their lifetime contributions of opening doors and helping others in society maximize their potential and achieve their dreams.
The 2015 Gala honored Pat Potts as a Door-Opener award recipient.
Mrs. Potts is the quintessential glass-ceiling breaker, being the first woman to serve as president of several boards, including the Oklahoma City School Board. Pat founded the organization known today as the Center for Nonprofits, Oklahoma’s leading organization providing expert training and resources to Oklahoma’s non-profit community. She serves as President of the Potts Family Foundation, which she also co-founded as a way to give back to the community primarily through funding and advocating for early childhood education.
