On August 28, 2024, Governor Kevin Stitt appointed Rick Rose as the next director of Oklahoma Management and Enterprise Services (OMES).

“Rick Rose has a deep understanding of state government and firm commitment to serving Oklahomans,” said Governor Stitt. “To be a Top Ten state, we need a government that works for the people. I’m confident that under Rick’s leadership, OMES will continue to be a driving force in making that a reality.”

Rose has previously served as the chief of staff and special counsel to the Oklahoma Speaker of the House, Charles McCall, and as a partner at Mahaffey & Gore in Oklahoma, where his practice encompassed a variety of energy and business-related litigation.

“It is an honor to serve my state,” said Rose. “I am eager to work with the Governor and the team at OMES to modernize state government and make government work for the people of Oklahoma.”

Rick worked full time while attending Southern Nazarene University for his Bachelor of Science and Oklahoma City University for his Juris Doctorate with honors.

Rose’s appointment will take effect immediately.
