Sue Ann Arnall

Born in 1956, Sue Ann Arnall is an attorney and philanthropist from Poteau, Oklahoma, who has dedicated her life to helping others. She attended The University of Tulsa, where she earned a bachelor's in economics and a Juris Doctorate. Upon graduation, Arnall went to work in the energy sector for more than two decades at Continental Resources as Manager of Natural Gas and Marketing. Arnall excelled at her career in the energy industry, securing a $30-million judgment, the largest punitive damage case ever awarded in the state of Oklahoma. Arnall is currently a member of the Oklahoma Bar Association and the Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Advisory Council.

Aside from her success in the energy industry, Arnall is also a philanthropist and human rights activist. She made it her mission to help those who have been wronged by the criminal justice system. In 2015, Arnall established the Arnall Family Foundation. After playing a key role in animal welfare and getting puppy mill legislation passed in Oklahoma, the foundation quickly expanded into a mission to support children in foster care and, over time, incarcerated individuals. To date, the Arnall Family Foundation is responsible for awarding nearly $5.9 million dollars to support local organizations and nonprofits in Oklahoma and continues to empower communities. Arnall also helped to establish the Diversion Hub, a foundation that has helped thousands of individuals coming out of the criminal justice system rebuild and re-establish their lives.
