Having just moved from Florida, I first met policy wonk and business entrepreneur Melissa Houston in 2021 when she was recommended to me as someone that could offer clarity on Oklahoma issues, politics, and processes.Our meeting at Stella Nova that June morning was incredibly insightful, but little did I know just how connected Melissa is, or how important she would become to the work of the coalition.That would take 18 months, and I've still only scratched the surface. You see, Ms. Houston likes to fly under the radar, a behind-the-scenes kind of person who gets things done, and when the day is over, others take the credit.
