Guardian Award

Created in 2010, the Guardian Award recognizes Oklahoma legislative, executive, and judicial officials who have made significant contributions to guarding, protecting, and preserving the rights of women and families. Pictured from left to right are 2024 recipients, Senator Brenda Stanley, District 42 and Representative Tammy West, District 84.

Kate Barnard Award

These women are elected or appointed salaried public officials in Oklahoma. Pictured is 2024 recipient, Tricia Everest, Secretary of Public Safety.
