The Oklahoma Bar Association is accepting nominations for its annual awards presentations. Nominations must be received by 5 p.m. July 1. Awards will be presented to recipients at the OBA Annual Meeting this Nov. 10-12 at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City.

“The OBA Awards are a great opportunity to celebrate both lawyers and non-lawyers who have made lasting impacts on the community and the practice of law,” said Kara Smith, of Oklahoma City, who chairs the statewide committee. “It’s important to our committee that we also consider nominations from outside the legal field. Lawyers do so many great things in Oklahoma, and we’d love to see that celebrated.”

To nominate an individual or organization, send a letter explaining why the candidate should receive the award. Please limit the letter to five pages, single-sided. No form is necessary to submit an entry. Those submitting nominations do not need to be lawyers.  Mail the nomination to OBA Awards Committee, Oklahoma Bar Association, P.O. Box 53036, Oklahoma City, OK 73152 or email to [email protected].

More information is available by calling 405-416-7000 or visiting www.okbar.org/awards.
