Senate Committee confirms the appointment of Gary Crawley to serve on the Oklahoma Conservation Commission

Today, the Oklahoma Senate Agriculture and Wildlife Committee approved the appointment of Gary Crawley of Pittsburg County and the community of Savanna to serve as a member of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission to serve a 5-year term ending June 30, 2025. It will now go to the Senate Floor and then to Governor J. Kevin Stitt, who nominated Crawley, for signature.

Crawley will begin serving as the Area V Commissioner at the July Commission meeting.

"The Oklahoma Conservation Commission (OCC) is excited that Governor Stitt's nomination of Gary Crawley moved through the Senate Agriculture Committee," said Trey Lam, Executive Director of the OCC. "Gary's experience serving the people of Oklahoma through many leadership positions in different agriculture organizations will make him a valuable addition to the Conservation Commission. Not only does Gary have a great deal of knowledge on agriculture issues, but his service on the Pittsburg County Conservation District Board and participation in the Oklahoma Association of Conservation District's Leadership Training Class makes him an excellent fit to serve on the Conservation Commission. I look forward to working with Gary to conserve, protect and restore Oklahoma's soil and water."
