EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

We are currently in the process of discovering SWCHRS's history. Please check back soon as we update this page with new information and milestones.

Committee History

The Center was originally supported by an Executive Committee and an Advisory Council. The Executive Committee consisted of local business people that assisted with funding and believed in the mission of the Center. The Advisory Council consisted of University of Oklahoma educators, providing suggestions and assistance with programming. Historically, the Executive Committee and an Advisory Council met frequently, to regularly provide assistance for the Center.   

Over the years, these two boards combined into one, forming the Executive Committee that still exists today.

Former notable members include:

  • George Henderson
  • Dick Hilbert
