Please join us in congratulating our own Brenda Barwick, who will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at tonight’s Oklahoma Women’s Hall of Fame ceremony, presented by the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women!

Throughout her career, Brenda has been a passionate advocate for women’s economic opportunities, safety and well-being. She has testified before the U.S. House Committee on Small Business about policies affecting women-owned businesses and served on national boards focused on shaping public policy in support of women in business.

Brenda was appointed to the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women three times by two governors and served as chair for three consecutive years. During her tenure, she championed policy efforts addressing affordable childcare, human trafficking prevention education, women’s incarceration and domestic violence.

We’re grateful for Brenda’s dedication to creating meaningful change and expanding opportunities for women.

Congratulations on this well-deserved honor! We’re proud to celebrate you.
