OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Cody Maynard, R-Durant, last week was appointed by Gov. Kevin Stitt to serve on the Legislative Advisory Council for the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). The council is made up of legislators and delegates from 16 southern states who meet several time each year to examine key issues and then advise the board. The Southern Regional Education Board’s work conference is the nation’s oldest annual legislative forum on education issue.
“This is a big year for the SREB, their 70th anniversary,” Maynard said, “and I’m humbled to be a part of helping shape what comes next. This group works together to find solutions to improve education and economic opportunity in our region. I’m proud to represent Oklahoma in these conversations that will impact families, students and the future of education.”

In addition, he serves as a member of the presiding officer team, presiding over the legislative session in place of the speaker of the House during many legislative days.
