Tommy Brown, Mgr. Eng. /Government Affairs at Oklahoma Natural Gas (ONG) and President of NWIAA Board of Directors
Mr. Tommy Brown, a man
who cares, dares and shares TANGIBLY to make a healthy and positive difference
in the lives of at-risk minority youth. Perhaps
what is most important is that Mr. Brown serves where education, training and
resources are MOST needed in the minority eastside community of Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma. He teaches and mentors young men ages 12 – 21
on how to be men of integrity, action and not just words. He also teaches them how to give back tangibly
BIG in their community, not lip service.
Mr. Brown’s leadership of generation “X” is trailblazing along with
National Women In Agriculture Association to Save & Educate our children through
NWIAA’s Agriculture Science and Math Health initiatives. Mr. Brown is
married, has a two (2) year old daughter, is a full time employee for an
Oklahoma energy company; yet he still makes it his business to take time to
make a tangible difference. Again as a full time employee at Oklahoma
Natural Gas Company he, checks-in on NWIAA on his lunch break, gets off at 5:00
pm, then arrives at NWIAA’s Sustainable Science Academy. Mr. Brown also assists
on weekends to ensure that our youth have the nice, safe, and healthy learning
environment that has never been established in this community on the level that
Mr. Brown and NWIAA are bringing about so quickly. This team knows it is an emergency when the
majority of the schools within a 5 mile radius of the Academy are receiving failing
grades. NWIAA is trying to work with the
legislatures and school board leadership to become a funded higher learning
child care center before the month of August 2014. NWIAA’s Academy has already been approved by
DHS to accept twenty 3 – 5 year olds. The Academy’s goal is to have 50 children
from 6 months old to 5 years old. Its
NWIAA’s vow that when lower income children come through NWIAA’s Academy, they
will learn how to 1. Read, 2. Speak
proper English and Spanish, 3. Sign Language, and 4. Have Proper Etiquette
Social Development Skills. The Goal is to step above and break traditional
poverty curses.
Mr. Brown has made a vow
to HELP change the environment; and he has and continues to diligently stick by
his word. He makes it his business daily
to be a leader that the young men in this community can relate to and look up to
and be proud to be a part of the Eastside community. Again, Mr. Brown works a full-time job (40
hours, plus), and comes over to mentor minority teen young men how to do manly
community repairs for younger minority youth in the eastside community; and
these young men ultimately train the younger youth as they can relate to one
another.
Mr. Brown and his young men’s
team have completed upgraded repairs inside and outside of the former McFarland
YWCA building which is now NWIAA’s Sustainable Science Academy. This team of individuals tries to ensure
daily that the at-risk-youth have a decent environment to learn and grow in
with true opportunities. Mr. Brown literally shows that anyone can
volunteer and do what they want to do even with a 40 hour plus work schedule. Needless to say, this community is in need of
more young, gifted, giving and dedicated leaders. Mr. Brown and NWIAA are developing more
minority leaders here in the East of Oklahoma City to train and
save others
across the world through NWIAA’s
Save & Educate A Child Health Imitative.
