Meet Jenna Worthen
Jenna Worthen, MPM, is the Founder and CEO of the James Martin Company, a political and nonprofit consulting company focused on intentional development strategies. Worthen has more than 12 years of experience in political and nonprofit fundraising and management. Worthen got her political start at age eight, when she gave a speech in front of the city council and a crowd of more than 800 to halt the expansion of a road in their community. The initiative was defeated and their family-oriented community remained free of heavy traffic. She began working in politics in 2008 as a fundraising assistant and later was promoted to an associate and account manager. She believes in the power of compelling stories and has served as chief story teller for City Care, an Oklahoma City-based nonprofit. She co-founded the 111Project, a nonprofit with a mission to have more than enough families to serve kids in foster care. She also worked for the American Cancer Society, where she was awarded the honor of Rising Star and her gala event was recognized as one of the top ten in the nation. She earned her master’s of political management from The George Washington University and her undergraduate degree in politics and law from Southern Nazarene University. Worthen is a @MomWhoWorks and curates an online community for women to redefine what it means to be a working mom in a world without working dads. She lives in Oklahoma City with her husband and three kids, Bobby, Jake, June and a dog who rescued them named Nicey.
