Our Staff

    Executive Director Kalan Chapman Lloyd

    Our ED is passionate about helping every person find their voice. As a attorney and author, she believes that all children deserve safe and stable adults in their lives and that all trauma can be overcome. Don’t stand next to her at a party, or she’ll use her toxic trait to make you believe in your wildest dreams.

    Development Director Andrea Prokop

    As Tulsa native with experience in many areas, Andrea is passionate about connecting with people and building meaningful relationships.  She loves her community and is dedicated to supporting it through her nonprofit work.  When she is not working to make a difference, Andrea is balancing her outgoing nature with the need for some well-deserved 'me time'.  Raising a teenage daughter keeps life full of surprises, and Andrea is always up for the challenge, one cup of coffee (or glass of wine) at a time!

    Senior Staff Attorney Savannah Mendenhall

    Our Senior Staff Attorney, Savannah Mendenhall, is dedicated to amplifying the voices of children, ensuring they have a fierce advocate fighting for their safety and stability. A proud OSU alum and TU Law graduate, Savannah approaches each case with creativity and determination, always looking for the best solutions to support her clients. She thrives on competition—whether she’s strategizing in the courtroom or debating who the best team in the NFL is (spoiler alert: it’s the Pittsburgh Steelers). When she's not in the courtroom, you can find her traveling, diving into a new book, or enjoying quality time with her husband, Cole, and their daughter. A foodie at heart, Savannah loves trying new things, especially when it comes to pizza toppings. She believes in asking for what you want, because the worst anyone can say is no—and who knows, you might just get the extra cheese!
