INTERNOKC RETURNS JUNE 27
Oklahoma City business leaders will have an opportunity to make one-on-one visits with Oklahoma’s congressional delegation and other key defense leaders as part of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s annual DC Visit June 21 and June 22. Each year, the Chamber strives to plan a visit to DC that aligns with our members’ needs and the goals of our organization. The DC Visit includes afternoon briefings on day one with invited Sens. James Lankford and Markwayne Mullin, and Reps. Tom Cole, Frank Lucas, Josh Brecheen and Kevin Hern. A reception on Capitol Hill with various other invited federal and military officials is scheduled that evening. On day two, attendees will get to attend morning sessions with federal officials and other government leaders that cover specific areas of interests on issues critical to our community, including military defense and infrastructure.
