BACK ING BUSINESSES
THE VOICE OF OKLAHOMA CITY’S BUSINESS COMMUNITY The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber takes an active role advocating for Chamber members at the local, state and federal levels. During the legislative session, the Chamber’s government relations team spent an extraordinary amount of time at the state Capitol advocating issues that matter most to business.
The Chamber’s annual Legislative Kickoff event gives Chamber members an opportunity to hear from state lawmakers. They can also voice their concerns about the upcoming session. In January 2022, close to 400 Chamber members attended the event and heard from Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Treat and House Democratic Minority Caucus Chair Cyndi Munson. The Chamber also hosted a visit to Washington DC to allow members to directly connect with Oklahoma’s federal delegation. This annual trip to Washington resumed in 2022 after a two-year absence due to the pandemic. Almost 50 Chamber members, including Chamber staff, made the trip. The event included full briefings with members of Congress and a Capitol Hill reception with Air Force leadership.
The Chamber keeps members informed of public policy developments through its annual Public Policy Guide, The Business Advocate newsletter and the Legislative Scorecard.
