There is tremendous personal value in a job well done.


“Seeing a person find a job is one of the greatest joys in life,” Bob said.


“Since January 2013, we’ve put 900,000 new people to work and we’re projected to employ one million new people by November 2015. Our long-term goal is to put a million people to work annually. We’re projected to employ 510,000 in 2015.”


Bob personally owns 37 Express franchises in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Kansas, and stays active with Express-affiliated companies—Express Ranches, The Express Clydesdales, and Express Travel Service. Express Employment Professionals is the third largest employer in Oklahoma employing more than 30,000 people in 2014.


INVESTING IN THE COMMUNITY Express Employment Professionals continuously provides support to local


and international charities and organizations. And many of the Express owners and their staff members partner with local charities to contribute to causes that are important to their employees and customers.


Bob Funk is former Chairman of the Board and currently a board member of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum board of directors where he has personally contributed more than $4 million to support the museum. He is a chairman and member of the Oklahoma Youth Expo, the world’s largest junior livestock show and has contributed more than $1.5 million to the organization. Express Ranches has contributed $3.8 million in scholarships to 411 participants in youth agriculture shows.


“Giving back is not just a moral obligation for the Express franchise network,” Bob said. “We are community driven and our people have a passion to help others. We know we would not be where we are today without the support of the local communities in which our offices are located.”


Recognizing that the children of today are the workforce of tomorrow, Express focuses on children as the beneficiary of its corporate contributions. Since 1991—on both local and corporate levels—Express Employment Professionals has contributed more than $4.5 million to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.


Beginning in 2013, Express offices from California to North Carolina and in Canada come together at local food banks and pantries across North America to help fight hunger—a growing epidemic that impacts millions of people in the U.S., Canada, and around the world every day. The company’s national day of service, Brand It Blue Day, helps fight hunger through local food drives and volunteering. In the past three years, Express offices have helped provide more than 156,000 meals to families in need.


In the last 10 years, the Express Philanthropic Fund has contributed more than $7.5 million to charitable organizations throughout Oklahoma.
