The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum’s Annie Oakley Society will honor Mo Anderson of Keller Williams, Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby, and local winner of "America’s Got Talent" Darci Lynne Farmer for their contributions to the American West during its annual luncheon at 11:30 a.m. June 6 in the museum’s Sam Noble Special Events Center.

“By recognizing the great contributions of those around us, we are ensuring that the spirit of the West stays relevant,” said Cathy Keating, Annie Oakley Society National co-chairwoman, in a news release. “This year’s honorees encompass the passion for excellence we all strive for, and it is our pleasure to recognize their great accomplishments during our festive luncheon.”

Anderson, known at times as the “Velvet Hammer,” will receive the Annie Oakley Society Award for her uncompromising business skills and leadership in the community. Anderson became Keller Williams’ president and CEO in 1995 and has since been named one of real estate’s “25 Most Influential Thought Leaders” by Realtor Magazine.

Gov. Anoatubby, serving his eighth consecutive term in office since his election in 1987, will receive the inaugural Frank Butler Award during the luncheon. Since his time in office, he has devised a multi-pronged approach to improving tribe conditions in the areas of tribal finance, education, business and economic development, environmental protection, and healthcare. Anoatubby is also a longtime supporter of educational initiatives within the Museum and the Annie Oakley Society.
