OKLAHOMA CITY – Woven LLC, the Oklahoma City-based company that provides resources to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community has announced that its Web site, livewoven.com, will launch Oct. 11. Woven founder and CEO Melinda Olbert, who chose Oct. 11 as the company’s launch date, said, “With October 11th being National Coming Out Day, it seemed fitting for us to ‘come out’ with a unique, ground-breaking resource for the LGBT community. The day carries great significance in promoting a safe world for LGBT individuals. Here at Woven, we’re dedicated to providing easy access to the services people need to have a secure future.”
The web-based company is focused on providing timely legal and financial education and resources to members of the LGBT community. The websitelivewoven.com, includes educational content as well as a national provider directory comprised of attorneys, financial advisors, tax and insurance professionals who have demonstrated competence and passion in working with the unique legal and financial issues faced by LGBT couples and families.
Olbert, an Oklahoma City-based financial advisor, recognized a need for a national online resource that would empower members of the LGBT community to set up necessary financial and legal tools. She recruited Kristin Davis to step in as president of the new company due to her previous startup and management experience. Davis is committed to developing Woven to become a trusted source of educational information regarding legal and financial resources concerning the LGBT community throughout the nation.
“I feel it’s essential to ensure that all Americans have access to even the most basic legal rights that many take for granted,” said Davis. “Same-sex couples have complex needs, and it doesn’t help that the legal landscape is changing at breakneck speed. Woven makes it easy to find highly dedicated experts who understand the issues.”
