— State Rep. Randy McDaniel, R-Edmond, along with 52 other Oklahoma leaders, graduated from Leadership Oklahoma recently.
McDaniel was the only Oklahoma lawmaker and Edmond resident in this year’s class. The class started in August 2007 and went through the end of April 2008 requiring a weekend every month to travel to different places around the state.
For 20 years, Leadership Oklahoma’s mission has been to create a dynamic network of leaders whose increased awareness and commitment to service will energize Oklahomans to shape Oklahoma’s future. The goal is to tap the energies of leaders from across the state to initiate positive change for the benefit of all Oklahomans.
Participants are chosen through a rigorous application process and selected from across the state to represent Oklahoma’s professional, geographical and cultural diversity. Each person must demonstrate a dedication to Oklahoma’s progress and the ability to exercise leadership in recognizing and resolving issues of statewide significance.
“As a lifelong Oklahoman, I am honored to be a graduate of Leadership Oklahoma. We looked a broad range of issues from education and economic development to tourism and roads and bridges,” McDaniel said. “We were able to address most of the key issues that will drive the future progress and prosperity of Oklahoma.”
