Henryettan Tammie Hiatt was named the 2023 Outstanding Committee Woman of the Year presented by Montana Silversmiths. The honor was announced by the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association.
Hiatt represented the Jim Shoulders Living Legends Rodeo, which also received the distinction of being named Prairie Circuit Small Rodeo of the Year.
According to WPRA, Tammie Hiatt has been a rodeo competitor and a community leader. She served four terms as the president of the Henryetta Chamber of Commerce, a founding member of the annual Labor Day Rodeo in Henryetta, which began 30 years ago.
The rodeo received PRCA and WPRA sanctioning five years ago.
She and her husband, Mark, have worked together with the rodeo to make it what it is today.
The Hiatts are affiliated with REMAX Double Diamond Properties; and are the owners of Hiatt Window & Glass.
“Wow, what a great honor to receive,” Hiatt said upon learning of the award, according to the WPRA. “I never dreamed this award would go to someone at a small rodeo like ours. This is very exciting for me and our rodeo. I am so humbled and thankful for this honor.”
The award she received from the WPRA in partnership with Montana Silversmiths, is given to “one female committee member/volunteer that has gone above and beyond in their local community to make the rodeo a success and/or who has been a staple of the local rodeo for numerous years keeping the tradition alive.”
Hiatt will be recognized during the WPRA Star Celebration with the Top 15 barrel racers on December 7 at the South Point Hotel and Casino. She will receive a custom made Montana Silversmiths buckle at the event.
