Pamela M. Warren is an American civil servant who served as the Oklahoma Secretary of Administration under Governor of Oklahoma Frank Keating. Warren served as secretary from January 1, 1997, until her retirement from state service in January 2004. In addition to her service as secretary, Warren served as the director of the Oklahoma Department of Central Services during that same time period.
Warren received a Bachelor of Science from Oklahoma State University and a Master of Regional and City Planning from the University of Oklahoma in 1974. While attending OU, Warren served as work-study intern for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in the Oklahoma Department of Economic and Community Affairs.
After graduating, Warren became the Planning Director for the Oklahoma Indian Affairs Commission and later became the program director for the Ozark Foothills Regional Planning Commission. From 1982 to 1985, she worked as an administrative assistant for women's issues for Governor of Oklahoma George Nigh. She was later promoted by Governor Nigh to serve as his Senior Executive Assistant from 1985 to 1987. In that position, Warren was responsible for coordination and development of state policy for all intergovernmental activities, economic development, exports, reverse investments, international trade, overseas trade missions and public/private partnerships.[1]
Following the election of Henry Bellmon as governor in 1986, Warren joined the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission as its director of information and supervisor of the Employment Service Program. She remained in that position until 1994.
In 1994, Warren was appointed Assistant Secretary of State by Oklahoma Secretary of State Glo Henley. As assistant secretary, Warren was the chief administrative officer for the Office of the Secretary of State, responsible for all administrative, policy, business, budgetary, personnel and legislative operations within the office. When Frank Keating was elected governor, he appointed Tom Cole as his secretary of state. Cole kept Warren on as his assistant secretary.
