Select Oklahoma-Global Oklahoma Gavel Ceremony

Join Select Oklahoma and Global Oklahoma as we come together for our Annual Gavel Ceremony — a milestone moment celebrating leadership transitions within Oklahoma's economic development community.

This year's gavels will be presented by Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell to the incoming chairs on Tuesday, May 19 at 3:00 p.m. The gavel ceremony is a cherished tradition symbolizing the passing of leadership and a continued commitment to advancing Oklahoma's economic future.

This event reflects the strength of partnership between Select Oklahoma and Global Oklahoma — two organizations united in their mission to grow and diversify Oklahoma's economy. By bringing their memberships together, Select Oklahoma and Global Oklahoma are building new opportunities for collaboration, shared resources, and a stronger collective voice for economic development across the state.

Following the ceremony, guests are invited to stay for refreshments and networking — a chance to connect with fellow economic development professionals, celebrate incoming leaders, and strengthen relationships that move Oklahoma forward.
