The Governor’s Minority Business Council was established in March 2019 by Governor Kevin Stitt and Sean Kouplen, Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce & Workforce Development, to help make Oklahoma a more inclusive and attractive business environment for people of all ethnicities and backgrounds. The council is the first of its kind in Oklahoma history.
Mission
The Governor’s Minority Business Council of Oklahoma grows its diverse communities with a Global perspective to move Oklahoma forward.
Oklahoma Minority Business Survey
Share your ideas with the Governor’s Minority Business Council and the Oklahoma Department of Commerce about how the state can better serve the minority business community.
