2024 Revere & Revel: Women of Integrity 

On October 2, 2024, the Revere & Revel Women’s Conference became a momentous occasion for women in business across Oklahoma, celebrating integrity, leadership, and the empowerment of women. Hosted by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Serving Central Oklahoma, LeadHERboard, and Moore Norman Technology Center, the event brought together women professionals and allies for a day of learning, wellness, and honoring outstanding women through the annual Woman of Integrity awards.

Women business owners, including Edmond’s own Tina Evans of Tina Evans Coaching, were invited to speak on a variety of topics addressing mental health, stress management, and other wellness topics critical to modern women.

The highlight of the event was the announcement of the 2024 Woman of Integrity Award winners. This prestigious award recognizes women who demonstrate outstanding character, ethical leadership, and a commitment to integrity in their business and community efforts. This year, the top three honorees exemplified these values in remarkable ways.
