People, Planet, Profit: A Conversation with Corey Williams of Sustainable Tulsa

Public Radio Tulsa | By Rich Fisher
Published July 5, 2017 at 1:22 PM CDT
Aired on Wednesday, July 5th.

On this edition of ST, we speak with Corey Williams, the executive director of the nonprofit Sustainable Tulsa, which is driven by (as noted at its website) these core principles: "A thriving society, responsible economic growth, and environmental stewardship...[which] are the mutually reinforcing pillars of sustainability." Ms. Williams tells us about Sustainable Tulsa's next First Thursday presentation, which is a free event happening tomorrow (the 6th) at the TCC Center for Creativity (near 10th and Boston in downtown Tulsa). This gathering will feature a panel discussion with Mayor Bynum's Leadership Team -- including former Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor, James Wagner, Nick Doctor, and Dawn Warrick -- who will be talking about the City of Tulsa's current and future goals regarding planning, economic development, and sustainability.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
