Oklahoma has had the honor of two GFWC presidents. Roberta Campbell Lawson was GFWC President from 1935 to 1938. Mrs. Lawson was born in Alluwe, Indian Territory, to J.E. Campbell, a pioneer from Virginia, and Emma Journeycake Campbell, daughter of the last Delaware tribal chief, the Reverend Charles Journeycake. Educated in Missouri, she married Eugene B. Lawson in 1901. They established their home in Nowata, Indian Territory. The first Women's club was established in Nowata in 1903. Mrs Lawson was its first president, serving five years. She was president of the Oklahoma Federation of Women's Clubs from 1917 to 1922, director of the General Federation of Women's Clubs and then was elected president of the GFWC, the largest organization of women in the world. The second woman from Oklahoma to be GFWC Presient was Mrs. E. Lee Ozbirn. Mrs. Ozbirn was GFWC President from 1961 t0 1962. Born in Era, Texas, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Freeman, came to Oklahoma as a young girl. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma. Mrs. Ozbirn began her club service in the small town of Sentinel and later Oklahoma City.
