Tulsa Women’s Commission approves minutes, hears legislative and retreat updates
Summary
The commission approved May meeting minutes, received updates on state legislation affecting early‑childhood supports and breast‑cancer screening coverage, and set a July 25 cross‑commission retreat date; members were also invited to nominate candidates for a Humanitarian of the Year award.
The Tulsa Women’s Commission met June 6 and approved the minutes from its May meeting by voice vote. Commissioners later moved to adjourn and approved the motion by voice vote.
Commission members discussed recent state legislative activity affecting early‑childhood programs and screening coverage. Members reported that a measure described as Representative Schreiber’s no‑cost childcare for early‑education staff had passed and that Head Start funding appeared, at the time of the meeting, not to be cut; members cautioned that follow‑up was needed and directed colleagues to the post‑meeting materials for more detail.
The commission also noted recent action on extended breast‑cancer screening coverage referenced in meeting materials; presenters and members said some bills had undergone veto and override processes during the legislative session and recommended members review the provided slide deck for precise status and coverage details.
Administrative items: the commission encouraged nominations for the Humanitarian of the Year award administered by the Human Rights Commission and discussed using prior Pinnacle Board materials to support nominations. Members were reminded of a shared retreat for five city commissions set for July 25 and invited to attend even for a portion of the day.
Ending: The meeting closed after announcements and a motion to adjourn. Commissioners said slide decks and follow‑up materials would be shared by email.
