While the president and managing partner of The Rowland Group of Staffing Companies, Flinn’s leadership grew the company’s profitability and management team which led to the selection and buyout of The Rowland Group in 2019. She successfully transitioned the company to the acquirer, System One, during the two years after the sale. Flinn has learned first-hand the complexities of managing a staff and budget in fast-paced industries. Under her leadership, The Rowland Group was named “Tulsa’s Best Places to Work” six years in a row and was honored for their community service by winning a national award from the American Staffing Association.

In 2004, Flinn founded the Tulsa chapter of the Oklahoma Business Ethics’ Consortium, which reached almost 600 members statewide. She currently is chairman of the board and provided leadership for the selection of the executive director. She has been awarded the Oklahoma Women in Business Champion, presented by U.S. Small Business Administration; Outstanding CPA in Business & Industry from the OSCPA; and many others.

For the past fifteen years, Flinn has provided peer advisory groups, coaching and consulting, and speaking on topics ranging from workplace culture, retaining and hiring talent, and ethics.

Being a woman in business can be lonely.

No one understands the challenges of women executives and women business owners as well as other women in the same positions. We function as an advisory board, giving and gaining advice and perspectives in a non-political, agenda-free environment.

Members from non-competing industries meet monthly, providing each other with insights, wisdom and feedback on pressing issues. We help each other accelerate business growth, enhance leadership development, and improve organizational culture. We speak honestly and directly to all issues.

This amazing group of women has become an important part of my life, both personally and professionally! I love the mentorship of the group and the benefit of taking away different lessons from each perspective.

Allison Dickens, Owner, Ludger's Bavarian Cakery

Being an entrepreneur can be a scary road for what lies ahead. However, being with a group of entrepreneurs walking the same road that helps you devise a plan for the unknown and to revel in the joy…well that is WEB.

Tani Kelley, Advertising Specialties and Spirit Accessories, President and Owner

I joined WEB with the hope of networking with other women in leadership roles. But what I get out of it is vastly more. I have relationships with a trusted group of mentors that inspire me and provide guidance and support in all aspects of life. My confidence in my problem solving and leadership has grown exponentially through the ability to present specific business challenges and receive constructive feedback and guidance. WEB provides a safe environment along with the support and encouragement needed to continually work on my personal and emotional growth. As a result WEB is an essential component for achieving my professional and personal goals.

Sarah Fields, President, Jetta Corporation

As you move higher up in an organization, you find yourself is a somewhat lonely position. You aren’t always certain who to trust and often you can get caught up in your own perceptions of issues. WEB has allowed me to work through some of my most complex and passion-filled challenges in a safe and accountable environment. The women in WEB hold me to my highest standard; value the trust of the organization; and have impacted my business in a positive and lucrative manner. WEB is the best investment I have made in my personal and professional self in the last 15 years. It makes the budget every year because the ROI can’t be beat.

Ashley K. Perkins, Vice President, Omaha/Sun Valley, Cox Business

WEB is a wonderful opportunity to network and collaborate with other executive women in many industries. Sharing real personal and professional challenges with an intimate group of trusted executive women who experience similar trials in their profession each day has become an important part of my own growth and my decision-making process- I learn as I share, and I learn just as much from the experiences of others.

Sara Tsoodle, VP of Client Services & Operations, Tricorps Technologies

I joined WEB while my business was small, and my knowledge of business ownership was limited. The founder, Lynn Flinn is insightful, and her business acumen and savvy are unmatched. She is one of the most influential and community-focused leaders in Tulsa. Through her leadership at WEB, women are learning to grow their businesses, lead effectively, deal with difficult situations, and pursue excellence and balance. The women in the group serve as a type of advisory board to your business. Because of the WEB group, my business has grown from one to fifteen employees, my client list has grown, and I am a more confident professional.

Angela Byers, Owner, Byers Creative

WEB is a safe and comfortable environment to share your business’s successes and challenges. To me, this organization serves as my unofficial board of directors. As such, they are an integral part of my planning, goal setting, and strategic business decision making process.

Managing Partner, real estate investment firm

“It’s lonely at the top” is more true than I thought before joining WEB. Being able to share problems and opportunities in a small, trusted setting of other women leaders has been enriching in my business and personal life. This has been true in surprisingly different ways … smart women from completely different backgrounds can still provide a wealth of advice, related experiences and encouragement … finding like situations among other women in leadership and benefitting from those … making lifelong friends … the small groups and retreats provide bonding opportunities unlike any other group I’ve joined.

Pleased and rewarded to have been a member from Day 1.

Joyce Madewell, Executive Vice President, SpiritBank
