HOW WE DETERMINE OUR PRIORITIES

As the voice of the business community, the Chamber advocates for pro-business legislation at the Capitol during each legislative session. Prior to the session each year, the Chamber creates its legislative agenda. The Chamber works collaboratively with its partners to promote a strong future for Oklahoma businesses. The intensive process of determining which priorities will be on

the agenda in any given year begins nearly six months in advance and involves input from hundreds of local businesses and government stakeholders.

The following is a visual representation of the Chamber’s process of identifying its annual legislative priorities.
