Stonecipher was awarded the top honor in the category of “Public companies with less than $500 million in annual revenue” at a gala event hosted by The Journal Record on Feb. 18 in Oklahoma City.
The publication’s top executive said that leaders honored with the award showed determination through tough economic times while possessing values that earned them respect from their employees, as well as business and civic communities.
In total, 39 business and non-profit leaders were nominated for the “Oklahoma’s Most Admired CEOs” awards in seven separate categories, including public and private companies, small businesses and non-profits. Honorees were selected by an independent industry panel.
“It is a distinct honor to be included among this exceptional group of Oklahoma’s most admired CEOs, and I’m gratified to receive the award in our designated public company category,” Stonecipher said. “From my perspective, this award represents the vision with which we created Pre-Paid Legal Services more than 37 years ago, as well as the hard work and dedication of all those who helped make this vision a reality.”
