We want to sincerely thank Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond, his staff, the Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation for taking the time to meet with us today.

It was an extremely productive conversation centered on strengthening partnerships, supporting Oklahoma’s marina industry, and enhancing recreation opportunities across our state’s lakes.

We are especially excited about the opportunity to work more closely with the Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation as we continue advocating for solutions that encourage responsible investment, improve communication, and benefit both the public and our marina communities.

Today was another great step, and we’re looking forward to the work ahead. Together, we can continue making Oklahoma’s lakes some of the best recreational destinations in the country.
