CHIEF GARY BATTONCLAYTON

A native and current resident of Clayton, Oklahoma, Chief Gary Batton has strong

ties to southeast Oklahoma and the citizens of the Choctaw Nation. His grandparents

were both full blood Choctaw Members and received their original allotment of land in

Indian Territory, located in what is now known as Pushmataha County. Chief Batton

cares deeply for the people of the Nation, often spending countless hours visiting tribal

members in their own communities—listening to their needs, learning from tribal

leaders and encouraging the preservation of the Choctaw culture and history through

events such as stickball tournaments and traditional dance exhibitions. Chief Batton

believes his purpose is to live out faith, family and culture while providing opportunities

for growth and prosperity.

Batton began his career with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma as a clerk in the

purchasing department while completing his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management

from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Assuming a new position within the Nation, Batton managed

multiple Housing Authority programs prior to becoming the executive director of Health in 1997. His first

undertaking after stepping into the role was to replace the Choctaw Nation Hospital with the first tribally-

funded health facility in the United States. Upon completion the $28-million facility was completely debt-free.

Batton became the 47th Chief of the Nation in 2014. As Chief, he oversees and leads the effort of serving

more than 200,000 tribal members. As the largest employer in southeastern Oklahoma, with close to 11,000

employees, the Nation continues to expand its business ventures with more than 170 businesses including

gaming, hospitality, agriculture and more. The Nation cares for its citizens through more than 140 different

programs that provide opportunities for growth and prosperity.

Batton has been recognized as one of the Most Admired CEOs, as an Oklahoma Creativity Ambassador

and as an Outstanding Alumni at Southeastern Oklahoma State University.

Batton and his wife, Angie, enjoy spending time exploring the outdoors with their children and

grandchildren.

life, education has been a driving force in the evolution of her career. A highly

accomplished business executive, Burger holds her B.S. Degree in Accounting from the

University of Central Oklahoma and Masters in Business Administration from

Oklahoma City University. As an accountant in the oil and gas industry and a trend-

setting human resources and finance executive with Chesapeake Energy, Burger

developed a corporate culture of leadership and community support which earned the

company a place on Magazine’s list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For”

for six consecutive years. Now, as the 18th and first female president of Oklahoma

City University, Burger has lead the institution through challenging times in higher

education of managing the safety of enrolled students, online coursework, and financial

constraints brought on by the global pandemic.

An active and committed philanthropist, Burger dedicates her time and resources in support of women’s

heart disease research and awareness, animal welfare, mentorship and higher education. Burger has generously

supported the University of Central Oklahoma’s endowed scholarship program, provided funds to establish

supported the Oklahoma Innocence Clinic at OCU’s Law School, and made the largest gift in history to

Oklahoma State University-OKC establishing the Martha Burger Mentorship Program which encourages others

to identify a role model to learn from, as well as raise awareness of the responsibilities that come from helping

others.

Burger has been named Oklahoma State University’s Philanthropist of the Year, inducted into OCU’s Hall

of Honor, and is a three-time finalist for Woman of the Year.

Burger loves to travel, resides in Oklahoma City and lives by the adage that "to whom much is given, much

Through strong friendships, hard work and pure salesmanship, entrepreneur

Denny Cresap grew a one-truck, one-employee beer distributorship in Bartlesville,

Oklahoma into one of Anheuser-Busch's top 15 distributors in the United States.

Premium Beers of Oklahoma became a large, multi-location company providing

services to 27 counties in the state before selling the company to Anheuser-Busch of

St. Louis in 2012. With proceeds from the sale Cresap and his family established the

Cresap Family Foundation, awarding more than $10 million to more than 90

nonprofit agencies in the last eight years. With a goal to provide opportunities to

Oklahomans living in smaller, rural communities, in December 2017 the Cresap Family Foundation partnered

with Vinita Public Schools to establish Adventure Academy, a summer learning

program for local children. The program, free to Vinita families, provides meaningful

summer employment for area educators and funds field trips to give students new

experiences, all while focusing on the development of reading skills and work in science, math, drama, physical

education, technology, history and art. Not only was the program fun for the participants, it also made a

measurable impact on their testing scores—76% of the participants in the first year of the program met the criteria

of the state reading test at the end of the following school year. Seeing such success in the Vinita area, the Cresap

Family Foundation plans to expand the program to the Ketchum and Cleora school districts in the near future.

A native of Chicago, Illinois Cresap moved to Oklahoma in 1952 after graduating rom Morgan Park

Military Academy. He enrolled at the University of Oklahoma and during his junior year joined the United

States Army serving three years overseas before returning to the state to begin his business career.

Cresap and his wife, Gail, live in the Grand Lake area and are the proud parents of their son John.

TERRY STUART FORSTWAURIKA

A fifth-generation Oklahoman, Terry Stuart Forst is the general manager of the Stuart

Ranch—Oklahoma’s oldest ranch under continuous family ownership—which celebrated

its 150th anniversary in 2018. With more than 45,000 acres spanning southeastern and

southwestern Oklahoma, Forst has courageously faced the challenges of Oklahoma

weather, changing markets and world events with eternal optimism and faith.

Forst was born in Oklahoma City and graduated from Casady High School before

earning her B.S. in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University. Following

graduation, she returned to the ranch to work for her father, R.T. “Bob” Stuart, running

a successful horse program and overseeing many aspects of the day-to-day operations.

Following marriage, the birth of her sons, and a brief stint in real estate, Forst enrolled in

Texas Christian University’s Ranch Management Program, completing her degree and

graduating top in her class. Using what she learned at TCU she developed a new management plan to increase

sustainability and profitability. Today operations include Stuart Ranch Outfitters, Bar S Corriente Cattle, and

the Stuart Ranch Meat Company.

As a leader in the cattle and ranching industry Forst was the first woman president of the Oklahoma

Cattlemen’s Association from 2009-2011 and first woman recipient of its Cattlemen of the Year Award in 2007.

Additional honors include OSU’s Master Breeder Award in 2008, named a “Significant Woman in Agriculture”

by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food & Forestry in 2017 and induction into the National Cowgirl

Hall of Fame in 2007.

Forst, her two sons, and their families live on the ranch in Waurika.

STEPHEN M. PRESCOTT, M.D.OKLAHOMA CITY

LEN CASON, OKLAHOMA CITY

Senior Partner of Hartzog Conger Cason and

Chairman of the Board of the Oklahoma Medical

Research Foundation, Cason will present

Dr. Stephen M. Prescott for induction.

Stephen Prescott grew up in College Station, Texas, where both parents were

involved in the academic community. With the parental support to excel and live life

to the fullest, he graduated with honors from Texas A&M University and Baylor

College of Medicine. Prescott completed his medical training in internal medicine

and cardiology at the University of Utah and advanced research at Washington

University School of Medicine (St. Louis, MO) before joining the faculty of the

University of Utah as a professor of internal medicine. While in Utah he and his

colleagues contributed to the detailed understanding of many human diseases—

inventing new approaches to diagnosis and treatment—as well as founding a unique

interdisciplinary research program in human genetics. The work in that program led

to the founding of the Huntsman Cancer Institute, where Prescott served as the senior

director of research and then as executive director until 2005.

Prescott became an Oklahoman-by-choice when he joined the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation in

2006—transforming the institution into a nationally recognized leader in medical research. As the ninth

president of OMRF, Prescott’s successes include raising $100 million for the largest campus expansion in the

foundation's history; earning recognition for OMRF as one of ten Autoimmunity Centers of Excellence in the

country by the National Institutes of Health; recruiting more than 40 scientists to help in the fight against a wide

range of diseases; the launch of a trio of OMRF-based FDA-approved drugs during his tenure; and, most

recently, overseeing the development by OMRF scientists of a diagnostic test being used for COVID-19.

Prescott courageously shows the power of medical research on the human body through his own personal

battle with cancer. Equally admired for his relatability to both medical professionals and everyday Oklahomans,

he can simplify the most complex medical issue into information all Oklahomans can learn from or utilize.

Prescott has been recognized as an Oklahoma Creativity Ambassador, Oklahoma’s Most Admired CEO by

and named Oklahoman of the Year by Magazine.

Prescott and his wife, Susan, live in Oklahoma City and are the parents of two and grandparents of three.

FRANK KEATING, OKLAHOMA CITYThe 25th Governor of Oklahoma and Member of

the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, Keating will present

Francis Rooney for induction.

Francis Rooney is a native Tulsan and fourth-generation Oklahoman. He received

his education from Georgetown University and Georgetown University Law Center

before returning to Tulsa to assist in the reorganization of his family’s businesses. The

Rooney family established Rooney Holdings, Inc., a diversified group of companies

including construction, real estate development, finance and electronics manufacturing.

Rooney became president & CEO of Manhattan Construction Company in 1984,

stepping into the role just as the oil bust hit Oklahoma and the surrounding states

during the mid-eighties. In an effort to reach potential clients and increase visibility,

Manhattan Construction expanded into Oklahoma City and Texas. These efforts

yielded partnerships and opportunities in the Houston and San Antonio areas, as well as

local projects throughout Oklahoma which built the company into one of the largest

privately-held construction firms in the nation with nine offices in six states.

Rooney is widely known for building high-profile, technically difficult mega projects—including Presidential

Libraries for both George H.W. Bush (College Station, TX) and George W. Bush (Dallas, TX), as well as Reliant

Stadium (Houston, TX), AT&T Stadium (Arlington, TX), Chickasaw Nation’s WinStar Conference Center

(Thackerville, OK), and the Stephenson Cancer Center (Oklahoma City, OK).

In addition to Rooney’s business career, he and his family have a longstanding tradition of public and

community service. A devout Catholic, Rooney entered public service following a Presidential Appointment to

the United States Department of State as Ambassador to the Holy See, when he was elected Congressman

representing Florida’s 19th District.

Rooney and his wife Kathleen, who split time between Naples, Florida and Washington D.C., have three

children and two grandchildren.

The white star of the medallion, taken from the State Seal, represents Oklahoma as the 46th state

of the Union and the 46th star on the flag of the United States. The gold center representing Uncle

Sam blessing the union of Oklahoma and Indian territories is taken directly from the organization’s

original impression stamp. The star is surrounded by a mistletoe wreath, like that of the impression

stamp and the Oklahoma State Seal. The mistletoe wreath first was used as an element of the Great

Seal of the Territory of Oklahoma.

The five “T” shapes above the star honor the five Indian Nations that inhabited Indian Territory

prior to statehood. Surrounding the Ts are rays of the sun, the Indian symbol for constancy—

unchanging or unwavering. The medallion hangs from a ribbon that depicts the color

of Oklahoma’s rich red earth. Originally hung from a short ribbon and pinned to the recipient,

current medallions are hung from a ribbon around the neck.

INCE 1927, the symbolic medallion has been worn by Oklahoma’s

best and brightest.
