The Executive Service Corps of Central Oklahoma (ESCCO) was founded in 1995 by community leaders Bernie Ille, John Belt, Harry Perry, Nancy Payne Ellis and Marilyn Meyers, a group seeking to establish an organization to professionally help nonprofits solve business problems. They selected Bill Phillips as president and executive director, and he remained in that position until Jan. 1, 2011, when he was succeeded by Donna Rinehart-Keever, long-time executive director of Oklahoma City's Allied Arts.

Sixteen years later ESCCO is flourishing with a roster of 60 volunteer consultants, a hard-working board of trustees, faithful financial supporters and partners and more than 150 projects behind us.  (A partial list of clients, some of whom we have served more than one time, follows.)

Along the way, we have developed a reputation for delivering a quality product and have earned the respect of those nonprofits we have served, as well as the foundations, corporations and individuals who support us financially.  

Like most nonprofits, ESCCO has faced difficult times during the recent economic downturn.  But thanks to our dedicated supporters and volunteers, we are continuing to thrive and are looking forward to assisting more nonprofits solve their business problems, and we are always looking for additional clients and volunteers to serve them.  To see a list of our current and completed client projects, please return to the HOME page and click Projects.
