Statement from The State Chamber of Oklahoma President & CEO Chad Warmington on Governor Bill Anoatubby’s retirement announcement
“Governor Bill Anoatubby’s leadership has been nothing short of transformational. During nearly four decades as Governor of the Chickasaw Nation, the Chickasaw people have experienced tremendous economic growth, expanded opportunity, and an extraordinary strengthening of Chickasaw culture, heritage, and identity.
The Chickasaw Nation has been a valued member of The State Chamber for more than 20 years, and Governor Anoatubby was personally engaged in our work from the very beginning. His leadership helped build bridges across Oklahoma’s business community, and his example has shown what visionary, steady, and values-driven leadership can accomplish.
The Chickasaw people’s long-standing identity, ‘Unconquered and Unconquerable,’ is more than a motto. Under Governor Anoatubby’s leadership, it has been lived out through the strength, resilience, and success of the Chickasaw people.
We thank Governor Anoatubby for his many years of service to The State Chamber, to the state of Oklahoma and, most importantly, to the people of the Chickasaw Nation. Job well done, Governor, and best wishes in retirement.”
