ABWA TU’YA CHAPTER – VISION STATEMENT, 2020-2021
Our vision is to be the premier women’s organization in Oklahoma and to live up to the meaning (to climb or to rise) of the Chickasaw word “Tu’Ya”. We will continually encourage unity and endeavor to make every member feel valued as a part of the chapter and the organization. This in turn will allow us to collectively “climb” or “rise” higher personally and professionally.
