Union Honors CFO Dr. Trish Williams at Final Board Meeting

001So, this is a little bittersweet, because this will be uh Dr. Williams' uh final board meeting. Um we are wrapping up. We are fortunate to have her at the end of over three decades of service to students and teachers in the state of Oklahoma. She's been a CFO at TPS, at Broken Arrow, and and finally with us. Um her work is always exemplary. I think we forget sometimes that being a CFO of a large district carries a tremendous amount of responsibility, and Dr. Williams has always borne that responsibility with tremendous grace and class, and an unwavering commitment to the students and the teachers and administrators of this district. Um the financial awards through your department speak for themselves over the years, but I know more importantly to you and and to all of us is the incredible team that you've cultivated that that are sitting out here today. And um to to have that be the fruit of your hard work is is an incredible legacy, and I know that they and I are going to be sure that we carry that on. So, for all of us here, we have a plaque that reads "In recognition, Dr. Trish Williams, for your exceptional service, unwavering integrity, and steadfast commitment to the students, staff, and community of Union Public Schools, June 8th, 2026." >> [applause] [applause]
