The summits – organized in partnership with the Oklahoma Travel Industry Association and hosted by local community organizations – will take place this fall. Lt.

“I’m excited to visit McAlester, Woodward, Duncan, and Claremore this fall to discuss how these regions and local communities can benefit from Oklahoma’s vibrant tourism industry,” said Lt.
