Joe Moran was inducted into the Tulsa Hall of Fame in 2019
When reviewing Joe Moran’s decades-long listing of work with non-profits, three things stand out: longevity; capacity to lead capital campaigns; and ability to create and chair successful fundraising events.
Joe’s service to several boards and organizations is now approaching three decades. He has been a member of the Rotary Club of Tulsa since 1988, and has served on Catholic Charities Board of Governors since 1995. He was on the Monte Cassino Schools Board of Directors from 2000 to 2004.

He was active on the Tulsa Boy’s Home Board of Directors from 2006 to 2016, and has been on the Board of Advisors for LIFE Senior Services since 2008. He also was on the Oklahoma Center for Non-Profits Board of Directors and the Leadership Oklahoma Board of Directors from 2007-2016. He joined the Oklahoma Hall of Fame/Gaylord-Pickens Museum Board to Directors in 2010, where he is still active.
While on the Monte Cassino Schools Board of Directors from 2000 to 2004, he co-chaired the $5.6 million capital improvements and endowment program in 2001.
