Tim Tardibono has been named as the Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs executive director. Governor Kevin Stitt made the appointment public on Tuesday.
“Tim is one of Oklahoma’s leading experts on criminal justice, family, and public service, and I’m grateful for his willingness to serve our state. I’m confident Tim will lead with integrity and a servant’s heart, and I know him as someone who will work tirelessly to provide young Oklahomans with opportunities to thrive,” said Stitt.
Over the past six years, Tardibono has been the executive director of the Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Advisory Council (CJAC). He also previously worked within the Office of Juvenile Affairs under Governor Frank Keating.
“Oklahoma is blessed with numerous natural resources, but none more important than our children and youth,” Tardibono said. “It is a privilege to accept Governor Stitt’s call to lead the Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs and advance the Governor’s mission to provide quality service to our children, their families, and Oklahoma’s residents.”
