EXECUTIVE ORDER 2024-28
The "Oklahoma Standard" is a phrase that embodies the resilience, unity, and kindness of the people of Oklahoma, particularly in times of crisis. The Oklahoma Standard represents a commitment to helping those in need, offering support without hesitation, and coming together to overcome adversity. It reflects the state's values of generosity, neighborly support, and the strength of community bonds in the face of hardship. The legacy of the Oklahoma Standard continues to influence the state's culture, symbolizing its ability to recover and thrive through mutual aid and perseverance.
I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of Oklahoma, by the authority vested in me pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution, hereby amend and continue Executive Order 2015-10, which continued the Oklahoma Community Service Commission (Commission) of Executive Order 1996-08, to oversee administration of our State's participation in the National Community Service Act of 1990 (Act), Pub.

The Commission will continue and reestablish its function as the State entity entrusted with developing and implementing Oklahoma's participation in the Act to support volunteerism in Oklahoma by helping to better coordinate, fund, and expand the public, private, and faith-based service initiatives that work closely with our state's citizen volunteers. The Commission shall comply with any subsequent amendments to the Act that impose affirmative obligations that condition the receipt of federal funding, immediately upon their becoming effective.
The members of the Commission shall be appointed and serve in conformity with the Act and Executive Orders 1996-08 and 2015-10. The Commission shall prepare an annual progress report for submission to the Governor by December 31 of each year, beginning on December 31, 2025.
