Our Board of Directors

  • Elizabeth Nichols - President, Founder

    Elizabeth is a mom of four, including the heart warrior that inspired Write With Light Project. Originally from Texas, she now lives in Edmond, Oklahoma with her husband and four homeschooled hooligans, on a property that they've lovingly named Lemonade Landing. Elizabeth enjoys blogging and being outside, and will do anything -- including starting a nonprofit -- to avoid having to do laundry.

  • Bob Loudermilk - Vice President

    The entrepreneurial drive grabbed a hold of Bob Loudermilk when he was just 13, leading him to start a neighborhood newspaper and selling copies door to door. He has since launched three different businesses through the years, the most recent being an event business that produces the annual Second Half Expo in Oklahoma City for the 50+ generation. He has a heart for mission work, which has taken him on multiple trips to Russia and the Philippines as well as a trip to South Korea. Bob and his wife, Denise, live in Edmond, Oklahoma.

  • Ursula Bowling - Secretary

    Ursula is a wife, mama, psychologist, and friend. She has four children by birth and adoption, including a daughter with Down syndrome. She and the hubs share homeschooling the kids and bringing home the bacon. She loves modern quilting, good coffee, and time with the people she loves.

  • Derek Nichols - Treasurer

    Derek is a born-and-bred Oklahoma Sooners fan, and an engineering analyst for a small oil and gas company. He enjoys fishing, hunting, and coaching his children’s soccer teams. Derek learned a lot about the world of rare medical conditions when his daughter was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome. She and her siblings are the inspiration behind Write With Light Project.

  • Kelan Owen - Outreach

    A senior at Oklahoma Christian University, Kelan is pursuing his passion for music and performance. He is always looking for ways to serve and encourage those around him, and this nonprofit is another way to do just that!
