 Oklahoma Chapter
presents Educational Excellence Award and Scholarship
The OK
Chapter of NNALEA
Executive Committee met on May 11, 2004. The committee's first action was to
present an "Educational Excellence Award" to the Pryor Oklahoma Boys &
Girls Club. Using the proceeds of the donation from the "Phil Carmen Team
Penning Event" held last year in Tulsa, Oklahoma show responsiveness to
donations earmarked for a specific purpose and validates best practices
for Native American youth. Positive acts to support, encourage and
recognize Native American youth is a NNALEA governing principal and shows
a real commitment to Tribal community involvement. It is also good to
recognize the Pryor Oklahoma Boys & Girls Club members who gave an
excellent performance at the 2003 NNALEA National Training Conference in
Fort Worth, Texas. The Oklahoma Chapter also awarded a $500 scholarship to
Walter Buffalomeat, a 2004 graduate of Sequoyah High School.
