The award, sponsored by the Chickasaw Nation, recognized OKFB for “significant contributions to the state’s economy,” and was presented Thursday, May 15, during the OVF Awards Luncheon in Oklahoma City.

The program features two unique pipelines for both rural and agricultural innovators along with business planning workshops and programs for established rural businesses.
Additional awards were presented to ventures and innovators who created groundbreaking solutions or innovations or who are positioned to achieve transformative growth.
