Rep. Tammy West, R-Oklahoma City, has been reappointed to the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women (OCSW) by Speaker Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow.

"I am grateful for the chance to continue serving on the Commission on the Status of Women to help support women and families across Oklahoma," West said. "This commission provides an important opportunity to bring people together, highlight the contributions of Oklahoma women and help ensure their voices are part of conversations that affect our state."

The 30-member commission was established by the Legislature in 1994 to strengthen and empower women across Oklahoma through education, collaboration and celebration. Members serve staggered terms and are appointed in equal thirds by the Governor, the Senate President Pro Tempore and the Speaker of the House.

The commission reports annually to state leaders and hosts community conversations and the biennial Oklahoma Women’s Summit. OCSW also recognizes female leaders through the Guardian Award, Kate Barnard Award and induction into the Oklahoma Women’s Hall of Fame.

West was initially appointed as Commissioner in 2017, and she received the Guardian Award from OCSW in 2024. Her current term ends June 30, 2031.
