The many accomplishments of the Tourism and Recreation Department would not be possible without talented staff and the dedication of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Commission.

The nine-member group lends its expertise and guidance to assist the department in reaching goals and directives. Also, thanks to the Oklahoma legislature and Governor Kevin Stitt for their continued support.
